Ceilidh McLeod, Clinician

My passion is supporting individuals as they find their path to well-being. I believe in a holistic, whole-person approach to therapy, where integrating various therapeutic modalities enhances the journey. I encourage clients to explore how small, intentional changes in how they think, feel, and act can foster deep, lasting contentment.

Drawing on personal experiences, I am passionate about helping others navigate life’s challenges. In my 20s, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact of addiction on families - my best friend lost her sister to drug addiction, and my uncle lost his life to alcoholism. Along with this, my journey in supporting military personnel and their families across the world has shown me how mental health affects not only the individual but everyone close to them. Through my own therapeutic path, I discovered my calling: to help others explore their inner worlds, process emotions, and cultivate personal growth.

I understands that every person’s journey is unique. I am here to create a safe, nurturing space where you can deepen self-understanding, heal past wounds, and find the inner peace and strength to gently shape the life you desire. Whether you're facing past trauma, a major life transition, or seeking greater emotional well-being, I am ready to walk with you on your path toward growth and self-acceptance. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices, ensuring you feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered to create lasting change in a safe, supportive space.

I know that taking the first step toward support can feel challenging, but you’re not alone. I am here to listen, support you, and help you find a path that feels right for you. Whatever you’re facing, we’ll navigate it together, at a pace that feels comfortable. You deserve to feel heard, understood, and empowered on your journey forward.

I specialize in supporting individuals facing PTSD, childhood trauma, self-esteem and body image issues, and I have a keen interest in men’s mental health. With over a decade of experience working alongside military families, I understand the unique challenges of military life, deployments, and solo parenting, and the impact these stressors can have on both individuals and their loved ones. I have a particular interest in working with military families and individuals who are navigating transitions, helping them build resilience and strengthen family bonds.

In addition to my experience, I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and trained in IFS-informed therapy, emotional eating, and body image. These specialised skills allow me to bring a depth of understanding to trauma and identity work, helping clients feel fully seen and supported.
