Dr Mikaela Sansone-Pollock is a HCPC registered practitioner psychologist providing therapy online or in-person in Edinburgh.
I am currently accepting new clients for online sessions (including EMDR).
Do you experience anxiety, low mood or depression? Perhaps you have felt you have low self-esteem or have challenges with family, relationships or work? Utilising my extensive training as a counselling psychologist and unique work and life experience, I can help you by working alongside you to understand your challenges, create goals, and develop a specially designed psychological treatment plan to address your specific concerns.

In addition to various psychological modalities, I am proud to further support my clients by being able to integrate my research and expert knowledge of lifestyle factors and their correlation to mental health.
