My name is Suzanne McNaughton (founder of integration counselling & psychotherapy). I am a psychological Therapist, living in East Lothian, Scotland

I base my work on what best suits your needs, using evidence based practice and various theoretical models: Cognitive Behavioural, compassion focussed, Person Centred, Solution focussed, dialectical behaviour therapy, transactional analysis-integrating these modalities into practice.

A key advantage of integrative therapy is its flexibility and focus on the whole of an individual. The integration of different approaches means therapy can be tailored to meet a variety of needs and concerns, making it a more flexible and inclusive approach to treatment than more traditional, singular forms of psychotherapy.

​Having worked in the mental health and wellbeing field across various settings, for many years and currently with NHS. This ensures a wide breadth of knowledge, skills and experience. Adherence to several ethical frameworks (BACP, BABCP, BPS) frequent clinical supervision which allows me to provide the best possible practice and safeguard your welfare.

​​I  have worked with individuals with many psychological presentations over the years, which vary in their complexities.

I work daily with:

Emotional disorders: depression, bipolar, personality.  

I have a special interest and experience in working with: addiction of alcohol/drugs, sex/porn addiction, and food.

I provide a safe, confidential space where you can talk freely, openly, and explore different options to improve your wellbeing. I offer online and face to face-in the room consultations.

If you wish to continue with the therapy process -a date will then be agreed between us for therapy to commence.

This can be either online or face to face in my clinic in Haddington 

The first session consists of a full assessment and gathering further information. Collaboratively we will then  discuss the options for the therapy, agree on the goals you wish to achieve from coming to therapy. Together we will then formulate a plan and find a way for you to achieve your goals.
