I’m Kim, an Edinburgh based psychotherapist. 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 Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy and 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 with PF Counselling in Edinburgh. I am continuing my learning with a MSc in Advanced Counselling and Psychotherapy Studies and in 2026 will be offering clinical supervision as part of my practice.

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, and deepen our connection with ourselves - we create space for transformational change and growth.

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.
