Susie | EMDR and CBT Psychotherapist
Introduction
I'm a fully accredited EMDR and CBT psychotherapist with both the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) and EMDR Europe. I provide CBT and EMDR therapy sessions online and face to face in Perth & Kinross, Scotland.
Unfortunately we all experience events in life that leave a lasting imprint on us. Sometimes these experiences continue to influence how we feel about ourselves, how safe we feel in the world, or how we respond in certain situations. You may notice patterns of anxiety, low mood, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm that don’t fully make sense and feel hard to shift. Often, this happens because the brain has not fully processed earlier distressing experiences. Instead, they remain “stuck” in the nervous system, easily triggered in the present.
I specialise in using EMDR, an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess these experiences in a safe and structured way. Rather than simply talking about the past, EMDR supports your brain’s natural healing capacity, allowing distressing memories to lose their intensity and hold over you.
I’ll work with you to shape an approach that fits your needs and background, often blending both CBT and EMDR. Together, we can focus on what matters most to you, whether that’s processing past trauma, breaking free from unhelpful patterns, or building confidence and resilience for the future.
If you’re looking to make wider changes in your life, I also offer EMDR and cognitive behavioural informed coaching. This is a more practical, forward-focused way of working that can help you grow personally and professionally so that you can move towards the life you want.
Online therapy
I've worked extensively online since 2015 and find it to be just effective as face to face sessions (with some added benefits too!). I tend to use Zoom, Teams or a specialist EMDR platform called Bi-lateral base for sessions.Qualifications and registrations

Most common issues I support people with:
My main focus is helping you uncover the root causes of what’s happening now, not just managing the symptoms, but understanding where they began. Once we’ve identified these underlying experiences, I'll use evidence-based techniques to help you to process them in a way that feels safe and more empowering.
These roots often lie in past experiences such as bullying, friendship or relationship difficulties, challenges at home while growing up, or experiences of abuse or neglect. Whatever form they take, we work gently and at your pace, helping you make sense of what happened and reduce the emotional weight it may still carry.
The goal isn’t to revisit the past for its own sake, but to free you from the patterns it may be keeping you stuck in, so you can move forward with greater confidence and ease.
