Terms of Service
Last updated: 3 April 2026
These terms govern your use of glasgowtherapists.com ("the Site"), operated by Illuminated Thinking Ltd ("we", "us", "our"), registered in Scotland. By using the Site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. About the directory
Glasgow Therapists is an online directory connecting people with therapists, counsellors, psychologists, and wellness professionals in the Glasgow area. We provide a platform for practitioners to list their services and for visitors to find and contact practitioners.
We do not provide therapy, clinical advice, or clinical supervision. We are a directory service only. Any therapeutic relationship is formed directly between the visitor and the practitioner.
2. For directory visitors
2.1 Information only
Listings are provided for informational purposes. We do not guarantee the quality, qualifications, availability, or suitability of any listed practitioner. While we verify professional registrations where possible, you should independently verify a practitioner's credentials with the relevant professional body (such as the HCPC, BACP, UKCP, or COSCA) before engaging their services.
2.2 Not an emergency service
This directory is not an emergency or crisis service. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health crisis:
- Call 999 for emergencies
- Call NHS 24 on 111 for urgent health advice
- Contact Samaritans on 116 123 (24 hours, free)
- Contact Breathing Space on 0800 83 85 87 (Scotland-specific)
2.3 Enquiries and matching
When you submit an enquiry or use our "Post Your Need" service, your information is shared with our team for the purpose of connecting you with a suitable practitioner. We act as a facilitator only and are not a party to any agreement between you and a practitioner. See our Privacy Policy for details on how your data is handled.

We are not responsible for the conduct, competence, or services provided by any practitioner listed on the directory. Any disputes regarding services received should be raised directly with the practitioner and, where applicable, their professional regulatory body.
