Welcome to Great Minds Think Alike

We exist to empower young people to heal, grow, and thrive—no matter where they’ve come from or what they’ve been through. Our mission is to break the cycle of trauma by providing compassionate mental health support, safe spaces, and tools for resilience that last a lifetime.

We believe every young person deserves the chance to rewrite their story—not just survive, but flourish. Through early intervention, community connection, and trauma-informed care, we help young minds reclaim their strength and step into adulthood with hope, confidence, and purpose.

About us

Great Minds Think Alike is a counselling service based in Glasgow and Renfrewshire, here to help young people through real struggles. Whether you're dealing with family drama, relationship breakdowns, or just trying to make sense of your own thoughts, we get it—because we’ve lived it too.

Our team isn’t just trained in mental health support—they’ve been through the ups and downs themselves. We know what it’s like to grow up in messy homes, face behavioural challenges, and feel like everything’s falling apart. That’s why we’re all about creating a space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and start building a better version of yourself.

No judgment. No pressure. Just support that actually makes sense.
