Our Therapists

We are a collective of HCPC-registered Art, Music and Dramatherapists. Each brings a distinct approach and creative practice; together we maintain a supportive, reflective environment. At CATS, we provide the holding environment and professional standards that support therapists’ work.

Because we are a small and new organisation, and our therapists are either newly qualified or new to private practice, there may be times when the support we can offer isn’t the right fit for what you need.

If that happens, we’ll be transparent and help you find care that holds you well, rather than keeping you in a space that doesn’t meet you fully.

Once you choose to continue with a therapist, they hold direct responsibility for your care, while we ensure safe practice, supervision, and professional oversight. At the same time, we’re committed to growing our collective so that, over time, we can offer a wider range of experience and a stronger support structure around therapists, allowing more people to find the right therapeutic home with us. (Learn more in our Duty of Care Statement.)

UPDATE: Due to the amount of referrals coming through there is an expected waiting time for Time Limited Therapy and Therapy overall while we expand to our 30 therapist team, an additional 14 therapists. As such we might provide options outside of your preferred modality.

Our Affiliated Therapists

Our Affiliated Therapists are experienced, qualified practitioners who work independently from our Edinburgh space. In the same way as our resident team, they are fully registered with their professional body (HCPC, UKCP or BACP), hold their own insurance, and manage their own practice, including enquiries, bookings, and availability.

To work with an Affiliated Therapist, you will contact them directly using the details on their profile. CATS does not manage their waiting lists, referrals, or scheduling. On occasion, due to your availability or needs, CATS will refer to them directly. Currently CATS will directly refer while we transition into this new model.

What this means for you as a client:

  • Currently CATS will directly refer while we transition into this new model and update website, but eventually you book and communicate with your therapist directly through contact information.

  • All Affiliated Therapists offer fees on a sliding scale in line with the CATS fee framework, so access is not dependent on what you can afford, they may have higher fees if they participate in the Pay What You Can programme.

  • Some Affiliated Therapists also participate in our Pay What You Can programme, which may allow for a further reduced rate in certain circumstances, you can ask your therapist directly whether this applies to them

  • Your therapist holds full clinical responsibility for your care, the duty of care agreement applies in the same way it does to Tier 3 Resident Therapist, with a difference in time committed to CATS.

  • CATS verifies that all Affiliated Therapists hold current professional registration, insurance, and PVG membership where required, and we remain the professional home they practise from

Affiliated Therapists choose to be part of the CATS community. While they practise with greater independence than our Resident Therapists, managing their own caseload, working to their own schedule, and engaging with CATS supervision and community events on their own terms, they are still bound by our Code of Ethics and Conduct and our commitment to accessible, ethical therapy.

A Note on Diversity in our Team

While our therapists bring a range of cultural perspectives, we are aware that at this stage our collective is predominantly white.

We recognise that shared lived experience can matter often in therapy.

If working with a Black, African or Asian therapist is important for what you want your therapeutic journey to be, you can find further resources through Black Minds Matter UK and BAATN which offers a trusted directory of accredited practitioners.
