Katrina Hadland

I am an accredited, relational, trauma informed, integrative therapist with 15 years experience of private practice (BACP). I am also a qualified (UKCP) supervisor. I have over 35 years experience working with people healthcare and educational settings.

Many clients come to therapy because they’re simply exhausted from being strong for too long. Over time, this can lead to addiction issues, confusion about identity, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries with those you care  about.

We’ll take things at your pace and build trust together. When you’re ready, we’ll begin to gently explore the more complicated experiences of your past. I’ll help you recognise patterns of thinking or behaviour that may be holding you back.

A big focus of my work is helping people learn the difference between emotions and overwhelm, and how to regulate these states. Developing these skills can help you feel calmer, more in control of your choices, reactions, and relationships.

Who I work with:

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, abuse, bereavement and clients curious about possible ADHD and neurodivergence. 
I have lived experience of the LGBTQ+ community, neurodivergence and complex trauma. 


My special interests include:
Dissociative Disorders (including DID, depersonalisation, and derealisation)
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), complex PTSD and trauma. 
I also enjoy working with clients from GRSD and minority ethnic communities.

I trained as a supervisor with CICS (Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology) because of its sex-positive and inclusive approach, which aligns with my own values.

Hollie, My Therapy Cat                


My gentle (and much-loved) therapy cat, Hollie, often curls up beside clients during sessions. Many find her presence calming and grounding. Of course, if you’re nervous or allergic, I’ll ensure she’s not in the room.

I offer:
 Face-to-face sessions from my home in Bonnyrigg as well as online therapy (for local and international clients) using the encrypted platform Whereby. 

Walk and Talk sessions are also available, using the Dalkeith to Penicuik walkway.

I work with adults, couples, and young people 16+, offering both short- and long-term counselling.

You are welcome to have one session or many. If you don’t feel completely comfortable and understood I would encourage you to find someone different. If you went to a hairdresser who didn’t cut your hair the way you wanted, you wouldn’t go back. It’s the same with therapy. You are in charge, this is your journey.
