The Anchor Practice
“Specialist clinic providing evidence-based psychotherapy for children, adolescents and university students. Based in central Edinburgh.”
About Us
We operate in Edinburgh, Midlothian, United Kingdom. We provide clinical supervision, child psychological and diagnostic assessments, child and adolescent therapy, and parenting support. Our clinicians deliver confidential, clinically supervised care for individuals and families.
Approach
From our central Edinburgh clinic we set a calm, predictable pace so children, adolescents and their families can feel steady enough to explore difficult feelings. Sessions are structured yet flexible: short check-ins, activity-based or talking work tailored to age, and clear plans for any between-session reflections or parent feedback. Clinical supervision and assessment inform the unfolding plan so changes are tracked and adjusted collaboratively. Families and young people who value dependable, measured support tend to find this approach helpful.
