DR ELSPETH TRAYNOR
Clinical Psychologist (Adults 18+)
Qualifications: Doctorate of Clinical Psychology
Regulatory Body: Health and Care Professions Council (PYL24006)
Location: Bearsden
My therapy work is shaped by core values of kindness and curiosity. My focus is in guiding people to develop effective skills for dealing with the multiple ways that stress, trauma and difficult life circumstances can lead to suffering and distress. Over the past 30 years I worked in a variety of NHS
settings, helping people with a wide range of mental health issues. I developed a particular interest
in the impact of trauma including Complex PTSD, and in the complex links between stress, trauma and chronic health issues. Many of us learn to disconnect from our bodies as a way of managing distress. I believe that restoring a deep connection to body awareness is fundamental to regaining physical and psychological health.
I draw on a number of psychological approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy and Nervous System Regulation to develop an individual approach for each person I work with. I believe that
everyone has the capacity to heal themselves from suffering and I love helping others unlock their healing potential.
I offer face to face and therapy to self-funding clients aged 18 and over. I also offer supervision for therapy practitioners including clinical psychologists. I am a registered Practitioner (Clinical)
Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC, PYL 24006).
