HELLO
Welcome to Healing Lane Psychology. I'm Dr Yiota Stewart. I'm a friendly and compassionate Counselling Psychologist. I feel strongly that we all deserve to live with self-regard, respect and self-compassion. I bring to the therapy room many years of experience in working within NHS, third sector and educational settings. I have developed an expertise in working with psychological trauma, negative self view, emotional dysregulation and anxiety, having worked in specialist trauma services for the past 8 years. I am trained in various therapeutic interventions, and draw from different therapeutic models to create a bespoke treatment plan that will meet you individual needs. I am strong believer that we all have strengths and resilience, and I will work with you to help you access and strengthen your existing coping resources, while also teaching you new ways to help yourself.
​
I believe that we all struggle from time to time, and need a bit of help. Together we can work through your difficulties, and help you work towards your goals, and live in line with your values. Whether you are going through some challenges in your life and need a supportive, safe space to talk through them, or you feel stuck in painful feelings, unhelpful patterns of behaviours or intrusive symptoms that do not seem to shift no matter how hard you try. I am here to listen.
​
I see clients in a safe and confidential therapy space in Bearsden. I also offer UK-wide appointments via video call.
I look forward to hearing from you.

PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
I offer a range of high-quality, evidence based psychological services. I work from a safe and confidential therapeutic space, and also offer online services.
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
Our symptoms can often be confusing. We might feel that something is fundamentally wrong with us, or feel ashamed for our difficulties. During the assessment, I will ask you questions to understand what your difficulties are, and help us decide on an appropriate treatment plan. I appreciate that going to see a therapist can be nerve-wracking, and I will do my best to help you feel comfortable and safe.
PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY
Together we can discuss your goals and agree on a suitable treatment plan. I will work with you for a short period on a particular goal, or we can work together over a longer period of time. I am trained in, and draw from a variety of therapeutic models, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Theory, Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), Schema-Focused Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness-based interventions and and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).
We can meet in person at the clinic in Bearsden, or we can connect remotely.
CLINICAL SUPERVISION
I remember my training days, and how much I valued good quality supervision. I also remember how important it felt to feel safe and supported, and to have a supervisor who is non-judgmental. Those experiences guide how I supervise others. I have years of experience in supervising qualified mental health practitioners and trainees, and have also received specialist supervision training. Contact me to discuss your requirements.
BESPOKE TRAINING
I offer bespoke training for organisations. I have experience in delivering training in the areas of burnout, self-care and trauma. Contact me to discuss your needs and time-frames.
