A little bit about me…

Hi I’m Yanni and I’m a Clinical Psychologist based in Edinburgh. My practice is based on understanding, compassion, and self-care. I have a passion for recovery and personal growth.

I am no stranger to the adversities life can present. I have experienced various testing circumstances and mental health challenges and intimately understand how challenging it can be to reach out for help and begin to change. I have come to understand that my struggles and failures are not personal failings but core components of what makes me human, pointers for learning and growth. My journey in this regard has lasted over 20 years and, emotionally and psychologically, I am still learning (and failing) everyday!

I have over 14 year’s experience working in mental health and addiction services within the NHS and Third Sector. I specialise in working with trauma and addictions (all types including behavioural addictions) but I also work with and have experience treating most common mental health issues.

I’m a registered member of the Health and Care Professions Council and a member of the Association of Clinical Psychologists. I work within the ethical codes of these professional bodies.
