What happens at The Old Bank
We provide a warm welcome, support in finding the therapist that is right for you and help for every step of the way.
We have a large team of therapists, comprising qualified counsellors and counsellors who are in training.
You may contact us in confidence via phone or text or through one of our online forms.
Our assessors will review any information you’ve provided and match you with a suitable therapist or arrange an initial meeting with you in person or online to obtain further information. We then make arrangements for you to meet with your therapist so that your therapy can begin. Your assessor will remain available to you if you have any questions or concerns at any stage during the process.
Our therapists work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, compulsive behaviours, anger, phobias and stress.
Our team uses different modalities including CBT, person-centred therapy, integrative methods and Transactional Analysis.
If we are unable to provide help for a specific issue, we will draw on our network of associates to signpost you to services that may be able to assist.
In addition to meeting with people in person at The Old Bank in Hampden Park, we are able to offer sessions online.

Why did you set up The Old Bank
Our directors, Dani and Claire worked as trustees for a local charity which provided low cost counselling services for over 15 years. When the charity closed due to a lack of funding they determined to set up a not for profit company that could provide professional counselling services for those who could afford it and to use any profits to subsidise counselling for those on a low income. Since then, we are proud to have obtained charity status for The Old Bank in February 2023.
Aware of the difficulties for some in accessing counselling, we are committed to removing stigma around the experience of poor mental health and normalising the benefits of counselling.
