Welcome to<br> The Edinburgh<br> Practice

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.

   

Our Team

Our compassionate team is composed of highly specialised psychologists, psychiatrists and allied health professionals. You will have the assurance that you will be working with leading experts in their specialist field. We have carefully recruited our clinical team to reflect our strong belief in the importance of delivering evidence-based care from highly qualified professionals.

Our Practice

Our purpose-built, 6,500 square foot practice at Waverley Square comprises 26 individually designed consultation rooms, carefully tailored to their therapeutic focus, providing a safe and nurturing environment. Our centrally located space is open 7 days per week, including evenings, to allow you to quickly access the help you need, fitting around your other life commitments.

This Friday we are checking in with our Speech and Language Therapist Michelle!
 
Michelle is one of the lead clinicians for our child autism assessments, she is passionate about improving outcomes for individuals who have neurodevelopmental differences. Michelle’s clinical work holds individuals and their families at the centre to help them understand their neurodevelopmental profile and provide supports to reduce the impact of any challenges.
 
At TEP, we provide ‘gold-standard’ autism assessments, ensuring that individuals and families can access expert clinical assessments in a timely manner.

This week, TEP are supporting #antibullyingweek!
 
The theme this year is ‘Choose Respect’ which has come about following consultation with teachers and pupils by the Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA) who are the official organisers of this important week. Teachers and children wanted a theme that empowered them to do something positive to counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes.
 
We know that the term ‘respect’ can mean different things to different people. When we talk about respect, we talk about showing that you value someone, including valuing their feelings, views, and opinions, even if they differ from yours. We also talk about accepting and understanding others, giving others the same consideration you would expect for yourself.
 
We also want to highlight that bullying does not end in the playground, but can continue for adults within the workplace and at home.
 
How to actively ‘Choose Respect’:
 
⭐️Actively listening: making effort to listen to other’s perspective without interrupting
⭐️Use “I” statements: Frame your thoughts and feelings using “I” statements to avoid accusing others
⭐️Stay calm and take breaks if you feel overwhelmed
⭐️Focus on behaviour not character
⭐️Seek common ground
⭐️Reflect and learn
 
We encourage you to always ‘Choose Respect’ even if you don’t always agree with others or even like them.

Happy Friday! This #fridaycheckin we are checking in with your sleep with our Clinical Director, Dr Fiona!
 
💭Sometimes, the pace of everyday life barely gives us time to stop and rest. It can make getting a good night’s sleep on a regular basis seem like a dream.
 
😴Sleep is an important part of our daily routine and is essential for good health and wellbeing. Dr Fiona discusses why we may be struggling with sleep, what is “healthy” sleep and the effect of sleep on one’s mental health! Watch until the end for her top tips for a good night’s sleep!
 
💤We encourage to check in with your own sleep routine as it is as important as diet and exercise!

Happy Friday! We’re back for our #fridaycheckin and today we are checking in with our body.
 
In today’s fast-paced world, burnout is more common than ever and our wonderful Sport Psychologist, Dr Zoe, is giving us some insight into how to prevent burnout.
 
😌 Taking the time to incorporate different types of rest is essential for maintaining our overall wellbeing. The different types of rest include:
 
🛏️ Physical rest: We often think of rest as just lying down or sitting, but it can also include stretching, taking a nap, getting a massage, or taking short breaks.
 
🧠 Mental rest: We live in a world that is always ‘on’, and it can be challenging to unplug. Mental rest can include turning off your phone, taking a break from social media, or practicing meditation.
 
💛 Emotional rest: Take a break from the emotional demands we face every day. This can include spending time alone, reducing stress where possible, talking to a trusted friend, practising self care, or spending time in nature.
 
🙋‍♀️ Social rest: We are social beings, but socialising can also be draining. Social rest can include spending time alone, considering when you want to socialise & when you don’t want to, or having a solo picnic, hike or lunch.
 
🔇 Sensory rest: We are constantly receiving sensory input from noise, light, and other stimuli and it can be overwhelming. Sensory rest can include turning off the TV, closing your eyes, spending time in a quiet room, listening to calming music, or practising deep breathing.
 
Remember - rest is not a luxury, it’s a necessity! Embracing and prioritising the different types of rest can help us live healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives 😊
