About Me

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 am also an EMDR practitioner and in my work I often draw from both Compassion Focussed Therapy and Mindfulness based approaches. 
 

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 most recently 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. This is a process many therapists go through to show an adherence to ethical and professional standards which is updated annually.

 

As a Clinical Supervisor since 2016, I have experience supervising the practice of student, novice and experienced CBT therapists. In 2017, I added Trainer to my roles and now develop my own CBT and trauma focussed training events.

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 Come Dancing' analogies in 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
