Gavin McDonald | He/Him
Counselling
Fridays at Studio 70Gavin is a qualified Person Centred Therapist holds a Post Graduate Diploma and Psychotherapy from Strathclyde University. He is Managing Director of LPG Counselling, a Glasgow based counselling practice, which he co-founded with Laura Finnell and Paul Johnson. LPG Counselling’s aims are to make therapy affordable; accessible and to promote the Person Centred approach to therapy.
As a Person centred therapist his focus is on learning what it is like to be you. He aims to enter your world so that he can travel with you, on your mental health journey, and can experience with you the difficulties and joys that you’ll encounter along the way. And although he will not advise you which road to take next: he will accept and respect the decisions you make for yourself even in the times you find it difficult to do this for yourself.
He believes that it is through this acceptance of you fully for who you are that provides the support and freedom that you need in order for you to find the strength to heal and grow. With Gavin, you won’t just look at the bits that don’t work but you’ll also look at the bits that do to fully appreciate the landscape that is your life. You’ll work together to get you to that place where you want to be in your life – and if you don’t get you there, he’ll definitely get you started.
Gavin has experience working with a range of clients, of all ages, with a huge variety of presenting issues. His experience has focused, particularly, with working with people who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community and people suffering from alcohol and drug dependency issues. However, he will work with anyone who feels they could benefit from counselling.

Rosie Scott | She/Her
Person-Centred Counsellor, Tuesdays
Hello, I’m Rosie, a Glasgow-based person-centred counsellor. My approach is collaborative, creating a space where we can work together to explore and process your emotions, feel heard, and gently face some of the more difficult conversations you may be having with yourself.
I welcome creative ways of working together, prioritising a safe and supportive environment while also making space for challenge where appropriate. As well as being an essential space to process our most difficult experiences, I believe that therapy doesn’t only have to be for tough times; it can also be a helpful space to develop a deeper understanding of yourself at any point.
I am also a qualified yoga teacher, with experience spanning over eight years. Yoga is a huge part of how I have supported myself in maintaining a therapeutic practice. I can bring elements of this into our sessions, such as breathwork (pranayama) or meditation techniques. This forms part of an individualised approach, depending on how you want to work and what you’re looking for from therapy.
I welcome clients from any background. I aim to create an open and welcoming space and am committed to continuing to educate myself and develop an anti-oppressive practice.
One of the most important aspects of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. It can be hard to get a sense of someone from one of these paragraphs, which is why I offer a free twenty-minute consultation call, so you can get a sense of whether you would like to start working together.
