About Me
Yvonne Farrell
Hello and thank you for visiting my website.
I am a qualified and insured Psychological Therapist, Supervisor and Trainer. My main approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) but I do have experience and training in Compassion Focussed Therapy and Mindfulness based approaches. I have also added EMDR to my practice.
Although I treat a broad range of issues, I specialise in the treatment of trauma. When I am not in private practice or training, I work for NHS Lothian in a specialist trauma service for veterans of the British Armed Forces. .
I have been practicing as a therapist since 2008 and have been an accredited member of the BABCP since 2011, a Clinical Supervisor since 2016 and train other therapists, in particular in the use of CBT for the treatment of trauma.
I am also currently a board member of the UKPTS
When I'm not working I enjoy baking and watching movies and good TV. Watch out for my many movie quotes and Strictly analogies in therapy sessions!
I love my job as a therapist and feel privileged to join others on their often tough journeys to more healthy lives.
If you feel ready, get in touch.
Thank you
Yvonne
