Sorcha Buchan
Master of Professional Psychology
Hello, my name is Sorcha (she/her). I am a Psychologist and I help adults, usually with unmet childhood needs or trauma, to navigate and manage complex feelings or behaviours usually as a result of said unmet needs and trauma.
The majority of my practice focuses on:
trauma
anxiety
depression
interpersonal challenges
My clients often come to therapy with a pervasive feeling of dread and unease, but after working together, they typically come to understand these feelings, and feel more at ease within themselves and in life.
About Me
I am passionate about having a sense of (appropriate) humour in therapy. I work with my clients as colleagues and equals, developing a shared formulation and plan for therapy. My clients are typically over-achievers, struggling with burnout, anxious, have low mood, are self-critical, and struggling with a sense of self and self-esteem.
Outside of the therapy room, I am an outspoken member of the LGBTIQA+ community as a bisexual woman.
I provide trauma-informed and evidence-based care (I don't ask: 'whats wrong with you?', instead I ask: 'what happened to you?'). My work is also gender-affirming, neuro-affirming, and culturally-inclusive.
