WELCOME TO EJP THERAPY EDINBURGH
Eleanor Pickett
Welcome! I'm so glad you've discovered my practice. I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in Edinburgh and online to support your mental well-being and personal growth. I have experience helping individuals with various challenges such as anxiety, depression and more. I am committed to providing a safe and judgment-free space where you can freely explore your thoughts, emotions and behaviours.
Therapy is a collaborative process and together we'll work to identify the challenges you're facing and develop effective strategies rooted in CBT principles. I believe in tailoring therapy to fit your individual circumstances and goals because you deserve a personalised approach that resonates with you.
You may be feeling apprehensive about starting therapy and that's completely normal. My aim is to make the therapy process comfortable, empowering and down-to-earth so you can feel at ease sharing your experiences.
I've had the privilege of witnessing incredible transformations in the lives of my clients and their testimonials and success stories speak volumes about the power of therapy. While I can't guarantee specific outcomes, I can promise that I'll be there with you providing support, understanding and guidance.
Thank you for considering EJP Therapy Edinburgh. Together, we can embark on a journey that is grounded in authenticity, empathy and lasting change.

COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT)
Tailored to your needs
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers a personalised approach to mental well-being. This therapeutic model focuses on identifying and altering negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to emotional distress. By customising the therapy to your unique challenges and goals, this approach ensures a more effective and targeted intervention. Backed by extensive research, CBT consistently emerges as the gold standard among psychological treatments, highlighting its remarkable efficacy and reliability.
CBT Online
Online therapy is a convenient and effective way to access support. From the comfort of your own space, you can conveniently schedule sessions that suit you. Online treatment offers advantages like reduced transportation costs and increased privacy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is well-suited for online therapy. CBT uses techniques such as thought challenging, exposure therapy and behavioural experiments, which can be adapted for online sessions. With digital tools and resources, I can provide quality care and build a positive therapeutic relationship, just like in traditional in-person therapy.
Group Workshops
If you're looking to empower yourself by learning more about the psychology of different problems, CBT workshops can be very effective. Through group activities and discussions, you can learn about the causes and symptoms of your issues and techniques for managing anxiety-related behaviours. Group workshops can also provide a space for you to share your experiences, gain support from others, build self-confidence and develop healthier relationships. I guide you every step of the way and explain various strategies to help you grow through challenges that many people can relate to.
In-Person Therapy
Discover personal growth through in-person CBT sessions in Edinburgh. I provide individual therapy sessions in the city centre, conveniently located near Haymarket train station, with easy access via tram, train, or bus. These sessions offer a serene space for relaxation and self-reflection, supporting your journey of self-discovery. Life is full of unexpected twists, but through my therapy sessions, you can learn to harness your ability to make choices and effectively navigate the ups and downs that come your way.
Managing Anxiety
Worrying is exhausting. The same thoughts circle your head; you crave quiet from the constant cloud of fear. It is hard to sleep, concentrate and motivate yourself to do things because of the continuous noise in your mind. Anxiety can be a debilitating experience, and it can be hard to know the route to calm. Through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), you can acquire the skills to recognise the thoughts and behaviours that fuel your anxiety, and you can discover more constructive methods to manage and alleviate your symptoms.
Overcoming Depression
Sometimes our lives can become profoundly unfulfilling, painful and demanding, and we don't even know why things are so tough. Perhaps we've become trapped by past events or can't imagine a better tomorrow because today feels futile. Faced with this, we can turn to coping strategies that may have helped initially but are now making things more challenging. I can help bring attention to your deepest feelings, explore how your past affects your life today and release the burden of the past that you may be bearing, perhaps without even realising it. By becoming more mindful of your thoughts and behaviour patterns, you can shine a light through the fog to a clear path forward.
Building Self-Esteem
Investing in yourself can sometimes feel challenging; you can always persuade yourself that other people or things are more deserving, but investing in psychotherapy will be the most meaningful gift you can give yourself, and it can transform your life. Low self-esteem can manifest in several ways, including feelings of worthlessness, helplessness, insecurity and pessimism. Symptoms of low self-confidence include difficulty making decisions, asserting yourself, accepting compliments and trusting your own judgement. CBT enables you to develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving so that you can start to feel more confident and empowered. If you are struggling with low self-esteem, I can help you develop healthier thought patterns and improve your confidence.
"You have considerable power to construct self-helping thoughts, feelings and actions."​
