Illuminated Thinking Psychology Blog
Evidence-based reflections on mental health, therapy, and wellbeing from a private psychology practice in Glasgow, led by Dr Aisha Tariq.
Thoughtful writing to support understanding and change
Welcome to the Illuminated Thinking psychology blog, where we explore the complex and often nuanced world of mental health, therapy, and emotional wellbeing.
Whether you are seeking guidance for yourself, support for a loved one, or professional reflections as a fellow therapist, our blog offers clinically informed perspectives and practical insights grounded in psychological research and therapeutic practice.
We write about a wide range of topics, including how to navigate seeking mental health support, and ways of understanding and managing anxiety, depression, stress, and other emotional difficulties.
Illuminated Thinking is a private psychology practice based in Glasgow, led by Dr Aisha Tariq. We provide comprehensive mental health care, including individual therapy, ADHD and autism assessments, and specialist support for concerns such as trauma, OCD, and long-standing emotional patterns. Our team of experienced associate psychologists brings a range of expertise, allowing us to offer personalised and collaborative care.
Alongside our own writing, you may also find it helpful to explore trusted external resources such as the NHS or Mind for general mental health information.
We invite you to explore the articles below, reflect on what resonates, and connect with us if you would like to discuss how therapy might support your own healing journey.
