Effective EMDR Therapist in Carluke, South Lanarkshire

Hello….

Im Heather Young, an experienced and accredited Psychotherapist based in Carluke trained in CBT and EMDR. I offer one-to-one therapy for adults both in person and online across South Lanarkshire and the UK. Young/life Psychotherapy is my long standing private practice.

I specialise in supporting individuals dealing with the impact of trauma, abuse, low self-worth, and anxiety.

My work centres on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—often carrying pain from experiences they’ve never had the chance to process. Through a safe, collaborative approach, I help you reconnect with yourself and move toward meaningful change.

My Therapeutic Approach

As an accredited therapist, I offer a trauma-informed, relational approach tailored to your needs. I draw from a range of evidence-based therapies, including: CBT-informed techniques to explore thoughts and patterns. EMDR therapy to help process traumatic memories and emotional distress. Inner child and parts work for deep, compassionate healing. A strong focus on the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. This isn’t one-size-fits-all therapy. Together, we’ll work at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you.
