Dr Fiona Sturrock

I have over twenty years’ experience working with adults across a wide variety of mental health presentations. My approach is formulation-led and integrative, drawing on a broad range of psychological theories and evidence-based therapeutic approaches to develop a shared understanding of each person’s experiences, the difficulties they are facing, and the factors that have shaped and continue to maintain them. I am also trained in EMDR and tailor therapy to the needs, goals and preferences of each individual, rather than working from a single therapeutic model.

In recent years, I have developed extensive experience in the assessment, diagnosis and post-diagnostic support of adults with ADHD and autism. Alongside this, I have a particular interest in trauma, early developmental experiences and attachment, and in understanding how these shape a person’s relationship with themselves and others throughout life.

As a qualified yoga teacher and practising artist, I have a longstanding interest in the ways people experience, process and express emotion beyond words alone. These interests have deepened my appreciation of the connection between mind, body and emotional wellbeing, and continue to inform my clinical thinking alongside established psychological theory and evidence-based practice.

I see therapy as a collaborative process of developing a shared understanding of a person’s experiences. I believe the therapeutic relationship provides a unique opportunity to recognise recurring patterns, deepen self-awareness and support meaningful, lasting psychological change.
