I’m Kim, an Edinburgh based psychotherapist, and both teacher and student of yoga. Over the last two decades I have worked within clinical, therapeutic and educational settings in the NHS, community health projects and third sector organisations. Since early 2022 I have divided my time between practicing as a psychotherapist, and facilitating training in trauma responsive practice as part of a national programme for Scotland’s workforce.

I hold a Post Graduate qualification in Counselling & Psychotherapy, and am trained in the Humanistic approach which supports you to freely explore your whole life experience. I have worked both short and long-term with a diverse range of adults, within a specialist young people’s service and as an initial assessment counsellor.

I believe strongly in the power of the therapeutic relationship - that when we have a place where all parts are welcome, where we can “hear” from ourselves and be heard, know and be known and deepen our connection with ourselves - we can create space for transformational change, growth, and healing.

I have practised yoga since 1999 and see many parallels between yoga and therapy, it is a practice where we can find our edges, make space to hear what our inner landscape is telling us and cultivate a gentler relationship with ourselves. I currently teach with Edinburgh Community Yoga and offer an integration of yoga and psychotherapy to some clients who choose this.
