Tom Palmer

Tom is a huge asset to our team. We are excited that we have a person on board who can help guide patients through the mental strain of chronic pain and explore the ripple effects it causes in their lives. He also specialises in psychodynamic therapy, which is a therapeutic process allowing people to understand what they may be experiencing. He has been working in the NHS as a psychotherapist for a number of years, has a private practice in Edinburgh and is now able to offer therapy to the Peebles community at The Woods Wellness Center. Tom works individually offering patients the opportunity to unpack the relationships in their life and also conducts group therapies which brings in more social dynamics. We are delighted to have Tom help guide our patients through the mental hardships of chronic pain and explore how it affects their lives in unexpected ways. Tom enjoys helping patients through long term therapies and establishes a trusting clinical relationship that can last for as long as a person requires.

“Therapy is a journey that allows resolution to problems by increasing awareness of a person’s inner world and how it affects them and others. Inadvertently, an emotional change happens which allows a confidence to emerge and give you a sense of inner security that gives strength to living life to the fullest.”
