Compassionate Trauma Therapy in Edinburgh

Healing Effectively: A Journey Toward Wholeness

At New Leaf Psychology Practice, I understand how profoundly trauma can shape the way we see ourselves, others, and the world.
Sometimes the weight of what we carry feels too much to bear alone. The past lingers, not only in memory but in the body, in the subtle ways we protect ourselves, withdraw, or lose faith in what life can offer.

Therapy provides a space to begin again, to make sense of what has been lost or broken, and to rediscover a sense of meaning in the present.
It is a calm, compassionate space where you are met without judgment and where your story, in all its complexity, can be heard and understood.

Personalised Trauma Therapy

No two lives unfold in the same way, and no two healing journeys are alike.
Trauma therapy Edinburgh sessions are tailored to your unique experiences, allowing you to explore and process what you have been through at your own pace.

Through a blend of evidence-based methods and a deeply human approach, we work together to restore emotional balance, self-awareness, and resilience.
Healing is not about erasing the past, but about integrating it - finding ways to live more freely and authentically in the face of what has been.

Support for Complex and Developmental Trauma

Trauma is rarely a single event. For many, it grows out of repeated or long-term experiences of fear, neglect, or disconnection.
These layers of pain can leave a lasting mark on our ability to feel safe, to trust, and to belong.

Complex Trauma Therapy helps to gently untangle these deeper patterns, supporting you in rebuilding trust. In yourself, in relationships, and in life itself.
Together, we explore difficult memories, develop coping strategies, and cultivate a sense of inner stability and safety.

For those whose early experiences of abuse, instability, or emotional neglect have shaped how they see themselves and others, Developmental Trauma Therapy offers a way to reimagine one’s relationship with the past.
In calm, structured sessions, we strengthen emotional regulation, rebuild confidence, and open space for a more compassionate understanding of the self.

A Trauma-Informed Approach You Can Trust

The heart of therapy lies in relationship. In a meeting of two people in the shared work of understanding and transformation.
I approach every client with respect, patience, and deep empathy for their pace and limits. You remain in control of your journey at all times.

I draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches, including:
- Trauma-focused CBT
- Prolonged Exposure Therapy
- Compassion-Focused Approaches
- Body-based therapies supporting the mind-body connection

These methods help soften the grip of anxiety, intrusive memories, and emotional numbness, allowing you to rebuild a sense of vitality and meaning in life.

Confidential, Flexible, and Accessible

Therapy can take many forms, but its essence is connection.
I offer both in-person and secure online sessions, allowing you to access trauma therapy wherever you are in the UK.

My clinic provides a quiet, welcoming environment where you can explore your emotions safely and without fear of judgment.
For online work, I use a secure and confidential platform so that you can engage in therapy with comfort and privacy.
