A warm welcome from our Clinical Director
My mission in setting up The Edinburgh Practice was to provide a safe, comfortable and professional place that people could count on to access the mental health services they need, with the assurance of privacy and clinical excellence. I have the privilege of leading a group of exceptional and dedicated healthcare professionals who are committed to providing the highest standard of quality mental healthcare. As a team we embody the practice values of courage, compassion, integrity, safety and personal growth. Now that you have found us, I hope that we can start your therapeutic journey together.
How can we help?

Dr Kilbane was fantastic and made me feel safe and understood
“I had a great experience and would highly recommend TEP to friends and family. Dr Kilbane was fantastic and made me feel safe and understood. I also really appreciated that she turned the lights down during my first appointment, as she noticed I was struggling with them.”

We as parents felt listened to
“The whole assessment process was well explained throughout. We as parents felt listened to and things were adapted appropriately to meet our child’s needs, for example allowing a parent to stay until out child indicated we could leave as this works best for her. Throughout we felt well supported and lots of advice was available. The process seemed thorough and during the feedback session it was clear that the clinicians really knew our child. The report was clear and allowed us to understand things much more and how this impacts our child. It is difficult to take a step back and try to understand the bigger picture and this process truly allowed that. I would also add that it felt like clinicians really had the time to engage fully. We have lots of other health appointments for our child and these often feel very rushed in busy clinics meaning we can forget about things we had planned to ask.”

The standard of care and treatment remains an extremely high quality
“Very thorough and open to exploring all avenues to best support my needs and overall wellbeing. The growth of the practice in recent years has been very positive and the standard of care and treatment remains an extremely high quality. TEP is flexible and understanding towards the needs of its clients.”

I want to add my heart-felt thanks.
“…she is doing so much better now – better than I had dared to hope – and it is largely due to the help that you have given her. And it is not only mental health that has improved, but also her relationship with her Dad, and the whole family dynamic is drastically improved.”
March, 2023
My daughter is in such a better place now.
“…and I cannot tell you how much you have helped her….I know that it is the work you did with her which has helped her to that goal. I know there may be slips along the way, but at the moment, you have helped her to be a happier, healthier young woman. We are so very grateful to you.”
January, 2023
I cannot speak highly enough of The Edinburgh Practice.
“My experience with them has been truly exceptional. From the moment I walked through their doors, I felt welcomed and understood – the initial questionnaire provided was particularly useful in allowing me to know that the clinic fully understood the scope of my issues and what help I was looking for.”
January 2023
Psychiatrist was lovely as a person and helpful.
“My son wouldn’t have not been diagnosed without this service in Scotland. Really appreciated so my son can get proper assistance in school.”
October, 2022
I thank my lucky stars that we found you!
“It is easy to imagine how things could have gone very differently if we hadn’t been able to access help, or if we hadn’t found the right person to help our daughter.”
September, 2022
I can’t thank you enough for all the help you have given me
“…I feel much more positive and confident, and I’m definitely in a better place mentally to start uni next week. I will forever be grateful for your support!”

👋 Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. This week, M is for Masculinity & Mental Health.
Men`s mental health is often overlooked - not because it`s less important, but because it`s less talked about. Deep-rooted societal expectations can cause men to hide their feelings and stay silent but it`s so important to challenge these expectations!
Let`s keep breaking the stigma around men`s mental health. If you`re struggling, you are not alone - and you don`t have to go through it alone either! 💛

This week’s #FridayFAQ is ‘What is Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria?’
We are sharing a deeply honest and personal blog written by one of our clients about their experience with RSD – often linked with ADHD and autism that can make rejection (including perceived rejection) feel overwhelming. They have generously allowed us to share their story in the hope that it will help others feel less alone.
You can read the full blog on our website (link in bio!) We’d also love to hear your thoughts and if any part of this resonates with you 💛

Welcome back to our ‘M’ series! This week, ‘M’ is for #MaternalMentalHealthAwarenessWeek!
Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week is a campaign organised by @perinatalmhpartnership and is dedicated to talking about mental health problems before, during and after pregnancy 🤰
The Perinatal Mental Health Partnership conducted a survey which showed that women do not feel listened to concerning their mental health in parenthood. This week especially, it’s important to highlight the power of women knowing it is okay to express their needs, feelings and experiences related to their mental wellbeing 🌸
Let’s talk about postnatal depression, anxiety, birth trauma and the importance of early support. Whether you’re a new mum, expecting, or supporting someone who is - your mental health matters 💛💫
