Exhausted from holding it all together? Maybe you're feeling lost or unsure of what you actually need. Maybe you're tired in a way that rest doesn't seem to fix. Whatever you are going through, you don't have to do it alone. I'm Amber, and you're in the right place. Many people I work with come in feeling like they’ve been holding it all together on the outside, while inside they’re actually falling apart. Therapy with me is a space to put it all down, the heaviness, the self-doubt, the “I should be coping by now” thoughts, without fear of being judged. It is a space to reconnect with yourself and get your spark back.

I offer CBT in-person in Edinburgh and online across Scotland.
Hello, my name is Ellie and I’m a CBT therapist. If you’ve stumbled on this page, I can imagine you may be going through a difficult time. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or not quite yourself, and it feels hard to see a way forward. I understand how challenging it can be to break free from patterns of negative thinking and behaviour — it can feel like being tangled in knots you can’t untie. That’s where CBT can help. Together we’ll gently work through these patterns and find ways to move forward with more self-compassion.

I specialise in supporting adults who are feeling overwhelmed. Stress can happen with a sudden change such as bereavement, job loss or relationship ending. It can also build with an increase in responsibilities. There can be times when life is quiet, giving you time to remember difficult past events. These memories can be troubling and make everyday life difficult. Overwhelm can show up as anxiety, low mood, avoiding things you used to enjoy. Perhaps work is too much now, or your sleep pattern may have changed. Effective help is here now.

We can meet in person, remotely, or mix both.
Feeling stuck? Too often we feel caught in a loop, bound in place, or stagnating in life. Sometimes we feel lost and don't know how to get free. Or we might know what to do - but either can't seem to do it or it won't work. Or we don't know where to start.
Problems with our health, mood, traumatic experiences, changes to our life circumstances like work or living arrangement, relationships, habits- any of these can make us feel stuck.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
