Mia Scotland

As a Chartered Clinical Psychologist, I can help if you are struggling, or want to be functioning at your best. I provide face to face sessions in Hygge House, but distance does not need to be an object, because I do video sessions via Skype/Zoom, as well as email therapy and telephone therapy. I have been working as a Clinical Psychologist for over 20 years, providing therapy to help people manage and overcome psychological difficulties. I work with couples, teenagers and tweenagers, and will also provide support for parents of babies and toddlers. Areas that I am particularly experienced at working with include:
- Depression, including postnatal depression
- Anxiety, including panic attacks
- Post traumatic stress
- Obsessional Compulsive Disorder
- Childbirth preparation and counselling
- Relationship and sexual problems
- Parenting issues
- Sleep problems
- Spinal injury
- Specific phobias (for example flying, spiders, tokophobia, talking in public)
- Smoking cessation
- Work stress
- Stress management and resilience building
- and more
Clinical Psychologists are trained to tailor what they do, to the needs of each individual person, drawing on a vast knowledge base of particular models, techniques and approaches. During your assessment, I will think about and share with you which approach I think will suit you best, and how many sessions might be appropriate (anything from 1 session to 20). The approach that I use is primarily short term focused therapy, drawing on cognitive behaviour therapy, compassion focused therapy (or compassionate mind training), mindfulness, positive psychology, the human givens model and rewind therapy. If you would like to discuss how I may be able to help you, please do email me, text me, and/or we can arrange a phone call.
If you’d like to make a start to feeling better, please contact me on 07969830929, email me at mia@miascotland.co.uk

Counselling for young people (11-18 years)
Therapy can be very helpful when you want someone to work alongside you as you explore your thoughts and feelings about life’s challenges. Working through emotional distress is essential to well-being but sometimes we can’t do this on our own, with friends, or family. We often need someone outside of the situation to be able to bring clarity.
Counselling for young people can be totally talking based or can bring in playfulness and creativity depending on what you are comfortable with. Fee’s £50
Counselling and therapeutic play for children and young people can bring help and change to children experiencing a wide variety of difficulties, for example:
- Low self-esteem
- Bullying
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Anger
- Depression or low mood
- Self-harm
- Experiencing a deeply upsetting event / trauma
- Suicidal thoughts
- Struggling to learn or concentrate at school
- At risk of exclusion from school
- Suffered a loss or bereavement
- Suffering any kind of abuse
- Eating or sleeping difficulties
- Challenging behaviour
- Isolation
- Friendship struggles
- OCD
- Social anxiety or interaction problems
- Families going through separation or divorce
Parent Consultations
Sometimes parents just need a listening ear and some extra support on how to best handle their child’s mental health needs. Often, we just don’t feel good enough and need some reassurance. £45.00.
Counselling for Adults
To help you get through this phase of life, to explore what is happening in your world, unpick it and help you to develop healthy coping strategies for the future. £45.00

I am passionate about helping people understand the difficulties they are facing and supporting them to make changes to live the life they want to lead.
As a psychologist I am trained to help people understand and manage their emotional well-being. Over the last 10 years I have gained significant experience of working with adults and older adults both in the NHS and privately. This means that I can offer psychological assessment and therapy that is tailored to meet an individual’s needs.
I work with a range of difficulties including (but not limited to) stress, burnout, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, relationships, grief/ loss, and adjustment to life-events and transitions. I draw on a variety of therapy models including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness-based therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and draw on ideas from systemic and psychodynamic therapy as needed.
My approach is to work with you to build a full understanding of your difficulties. This includes identifying how any difficulties developed and what keeps these difficulties going and what coping skills you already have. Based on this shared understanding we would work on developing the skills and self-knowledge you need to improve (and maintain) your emotional well-being and achieve your goals.
I think the therapy relationship is a very important, therefore, I aim to create a space where you feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings about your difficulties. I know that seeking therapy can bring up lots of different feelings and concerns. Please feel free to contact me to arrange a free 10-15 minute consultation to ask any questions you may have and to see if I am the right psychologist for you.
