Clinical Psychologist
Hello, I’m Dr Emma Boyd, a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist based in Glasgow with over nine years of experience working in adult mental health across NHS services. I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for adults of all ages, with particular expertise in supporting older adults (65+) experiencing mental health difficulties or cognitive changes.
My clinical background includes working with young people aged 16–25 with complex emotional and interpersonal difficulties as part of a specialist Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) team, as well as working in community mental health teams supporting adults across the lifespan. I currently hold dual roles as a Clinical Psychologist in both a community mental health service and an inpatient assessment unit for older adults, where I specialise in treating acute mental health issues and cognitive impairment.
I have extensive experience supporting clients with a wide range of challenges, including:
Depression and low mood
Anxiety, panic, phobias and OCD
PTSD and complex trauma (including birth trauma)
Low self-esteem and confidence
Grief and bereavement
Adjustment to life transitions such as retirement, illness, injury or chronic pain
Attachment and interpersonal difficulties
I draw from a range of evidence-based psychological therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Schema-informed approaches, and Systemic Therapy. Each therapy plan is tailored to your individual needs, pace, and goals.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step – whether it’s your first time or you’re returning after a difficult period. My aim is to offer a safe, containing and non-judgemental space where we can work collaboratively to understand what’s holding you back, build insight, and develop meaningful skills for lasting change.
