Dr. Laura Walton

Dr Laura Walton is a highly experienced Clinical Psychologist and EMDR UK Accredited Practitioner with over 15 years of experience in psychological services. She earned her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Edinburgh in 2010, following an MSc in Psychological Research Methods and a BSc in Psychology. After spending over a decade delivering specialist care within the NHS across NHS Highland and NHS Fife, she transitioned to independent private practice in 2019, establishing her current online clinical service.

Throughout her career, Dr Walton has developed a particular expertise in trauma-informed care and the treatment of complex psychological presentations. She is a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (C.Psychol AFBPsS) and primarily delivers her services through online consultations, offering UK-wide accessibility. Leveraging her dual-profession as a certified diving instructor, she also holds a unique specialist interest in "Dive Psychology," where she helps scuba divers overcome psychological barriers such as underwater anxiety, panic, and phobias.

Her therapeutic approach is integrative, frequently incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients manage difficult emotions and live more meaningfully. For adults seeking rapid, focused progress without months of weekly therapy, she offers online EMDR intensives—a structured, short-term format specifically designed to accelerate trauma processing and emotional recovery.
