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. In early 2022 I transitioned into dividing my time between practicing as a psychotherapist, and a part time role within the NHS 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 in two Edinburgh counselling organisations.

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, healing and resilience.

I found yoga in 1999 when pregnant with my first child and began deepening my learning in 2006. I 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.
