Feeling stuck in the past? Struggling with anxiety, depression or constantly criticising yourself? Curious to know yourself more than before?
What I Offer:
Hello, I’m Calum and welcome to Waves Within Psychology. It takes courage to acknowledge when you might need support to explore change in your life. I provide evidence-led therapies (e.g. EMDR, CBT, Compassion Focused Therapy) for adults and young people (12+) to ease distress; often the result of unresolved trauma, stress or being marginalised.
Whether you feel anxious, or doubt / criticise yourself, or lack purpose / motivation, my therapy can provide a space to address such difficulties to support the change you need. For some, this might include the belief that you deserve change.
A Space for Healing & Change:
Because these therapies are evidence-based, people can experience healing and change in an effective and timely way. My therapy approach aims to get to the ‘roots’ of current problems, process experiences using structured techniques, and learn lifelong skills; all of which can lead to more lasting change.
How I Can Help:
Whether you want to try something new or different, improve your relationships, or simply be yourself more than before, our work focuses on building your WAVES Within:
- Worth: Working towards the inner belief that you are just enough with less reliance on external achievements, status or validation from others. This kind of worth helps us to set healthy boundaries, to see the bigger picture and not to assume a challenge/set back is a personal failure.
- Authenticity: Becoming curious about who you truly are beyond societal norms. Starting to live, or even begin to imagine, a life that reflects this more.
- Values: Clarifying what is actually important to you. Begin to engage in more activity that gives you these values. This can help you have more joy, fun, motivation and purpose in life.
- Empowerment: Being able to tell your own story, often letting go of the past and the negative stories that you used to say about yourself. Developing self-expression to help work alongside yourself and others, instead of over-pleasing or fighting against.
- Self-Compassion: Softening self-criticism and learning to treat yourself with the same kindness you’d offer a loved one.
What would be possible if you experienced more WAVES within in your life?

Experience & Background:
My practice, Waves Within Psychology, is built on over 10 years of clinical experience across diverse settings, including the NHS and holistic settings in Southeast Asia. I have had the opportunity to support clients from all walks of life, bearing witness to the healing transformation therapy can bring to a range of mental health difficulties.
Specifically, I have worked in adult and young people NHSs, including a specialist LGBTQ+ service where I provided individual support as well as staff training and consultation. I spent time abroad working in a mental health rehabilitation clinic, where many clients were in addiction recovery and/or had experienced trauma.
I often found that many of my clients experienced some form of being marginalised and/or shamed, which guided therapy. As a result, my approach is inclusive, affirming, and deeply empathic towards anyone who has felt different or like an outsider.
Understanding Your Distress:
Distress is personal and complex. Whether you are navigating a formal diagnosis like OCD, PTSD, or Depression, or simply struggling with a loud inner critic and a sense of "not being enough," I am here to help. You don’t need a label to deserve support; I work with anyone feeling a sense of discomfort or a desire to grow and develop as a person.
Evidence-Led Therapies:
I integrate a range of therapies to meet your specific needs:
- Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Trauma-Focused CBT
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
My Commitment to You:
Therapy with me is collaborative and individualised for your needs with on-going feedback so we can adjust and grow together. My intention is to combine clinical expertise with genuine empathy and sensitivity, helping you uncover the potential that exists within you.
