COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY | NEURODEVELOPMENT | BEHAVIOURAL HEALTH

We integrate psychotherapy, behavioural insight and structured support to help individuals improve emotional regulation, stability, day-to-day functioning and sustainable wellbeing.

Counselling & Psychotherapy

For emotional support, relational work, and deeper psychological exploration.

Behaviour & Neurodevelopment

For structured, formulation-led work around attention, behaviour, and performance.

Our Approach

At The McGilligan Practice, we take a thoughtful and clinically grounded approach to understanding emotional wellbeing, behaviour, and neurodevelopment. Our work is tailored to the individual, integrating depth-focused psychotherapy with structured behavioural insight where appropriate.

​​

Psychotherapy

  • Emotional depth, relational patterns, and psychological understanding

  • How past and present experiences shape thoughts, feelings, and behaviour

 

Behavioural Health

  • Emotional regulation, behavioural patterns, and practical change

  • Structure, consistency, and applied strategies

​

Neurodevelopment

  • Attention, executive functioning, and cognitive complexity

  • ADHD and neurodevelopmental differences

Who We Work With

We support individuals who may be experiencing:

  • Feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or constantly “on edge”

  • Anxiety, low mood, emotional distress, or a sense of struggling internally

  • The ongoing impact of past experiences, trauma, loss, or instability

  • Repeated periods of crisis, shutdown, overwhelm, or emotional exhaustion

  • Feeling stuck, burnt out, or unsure how to move forward

  • Patterns of people-pleasing, hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, or difficulty feeling safe

  • Difficulties with attachment, trust, identity, or emotional connection

  • Relationship or family difficulties that feel repetitive, conflict-driven, or hard to change

  • Difficulty managing emotions, reactions, or day-to-day pressures

  • Challenges with focus, organisation, motivation, or executive functioning

  • ADHD traits, neurodivergent differences, or difficulties maintaining routines and structure

  • High levels of responsibility externally while struggling internally

  • Parenting, work, or everyday pressures becoming difficult to balance

  • A sense that previous support has not addressed the underlying issues

Client Feedback

"We came to The McGilligan Practice feeling completely overwhelmed and unsure what to do next. Charlotte helped us make sense of a very complex situation involving our child’s behaviour, school challenges and ongoing stress at home. Her approach was structured, calm and practical. For the first time in a long time, things feel more stable and manageable.”
