Trauma and PTSD Counselling in Edinburgh

Dr Lisa Keegan
Psychologist, HCPC - Clin. Psych.
Serves Area
I work with clients who experience a range of psychological challenges including:Depression; anxiety; PTSD; trauma; stress; phobia; relationship issues; interpersonal difficulties; work stress; grief & bereavement; sleep wake issues; addictive behaviours; health anxiety; pain; birth trauma; post-natal depression; problems with self-esteem and confidence.
I draw on Schema Therapy, EMDR, and Compassion-Focused approaches to create a way of working that fits you—your needs, your pace, your goals. While each person’s path is different, the thread that runs through everything I do is compassion: helping you respond to yourself with kindness, especially in the places that feel stuck or painful.

I specialise in remote EMDR and CBT for overcoming a range of issues including past trauma and current anxiety related symptoms.
Many of the people I work with have a good understanding of themselves, but find that insight alone hasn’t been enough to create change. They may recognise patterns in anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism or relationships, but still find themselves reacting in ways they would like to change. I work with adults who want to understand what is keeping them stuck and make meaningful changes. This may involve EMDR, CBT or ACT-informed approaches, depending on what you want to work on.

With over 20 years' clinical experience working with adults and children across a variety of settings, and training in multiple modalities, I work in a trauma-informed, humanistic, and relational way, tailoring therapy to your unique needs rather than expecting you to fit a particular model.
Working with me involves collaboratively tuning into your inner wisdom: a session could look like talking, guided breath/ movement, somatic inquiry, parts/ inner child work. For any neurodivergent/ Autistic/ AuDHD/ ADHD-ers; if psychoeducation, planning and/ or a cognitive approach is preferred, screen on/ off, moving, fidgeting, all is welcome.

I work with people in high-pressure roles who are used to holding things together for everyone else - at work, at home, in their business. On the outside you may look ‘fine’ but inside it might feel very different. Perhaps the stress doesn’t ever switch off, decisions keep circling, and there maybe a quiet sense you’ve lost touch with yourself.

The main concerns I can help with is Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Self Identity, Emotional Regulation and Relationships
You can get used to almost anything. That is part of the problem. How alone it feels. How long it has been carried without anyone really seeing it. How tiring it is to keep performing fine while something underneath quietly does not feel fine at all. Some things are hard to say out loud. That you are not as okay as you look. That you resent people you love. That part of you checked out a long time ago and has been performing the rest. Most people do not come to therapy because something dramatic happened. They come because they are tired of carrying it alone. That is reason enough. We can start there.

Lots of us face challenging situations at some stage in our lives, which can be difficult to manage. It's not always easy or appropriate to talk with family or friends and sometimes we worry that bringing something old and / or hidden up to the surface will cause more problems. I offer a confidential and non-judgemental space where we can work together to help you to develop insight and understanding by exploring how your present situation might be impacted by past experiences and people from your past and / or present.
