Improving Your Emotional Well Being
Blue Skies Psychology Welcomes You
Quality Care You Can Count On
We offer compassionate, evidence-based psychological care to adults who are struggling with aspects of their mental health and emotional wellbeing. We offer face-to-face sessions from The Wellbeing Rooms in Bearsden, North Glasgow as well as offering UK-wide appointments via telephone or video call.
If you are feeling confused about your thoughts or emotions, finding them difficult to manage and coping in ways that might potentially be harmful in the longer term, we can help you. If you are feeling stuck, perhaps struggling with poor sleep and physical health difficulties and have stopped living life in the way you would like, we can help you. If you are experiencing low mood, anger, anxiety or low self-esteem, let us help you to find ways of coping with these difficulties in a way that will improve your overall wellbeing and help you live a more fulfilling life.
We use tailored, evidence-based approaches to help you understand how your difficulties developed, factors keeping these going and ways of helping to break vicious cycles and change old behavioural patterns. Blue Skies Psychology provides compassionate, evidence-based psychological care and would be delighted to help you improve your emotional well-being and achieve your goals.

Services
Psychological Assessment
We initially offer a comprehensive psychological assessment, which can take several sessions. During assessment, the aim is to gather information about your current difficulties, when these started and how they developed over time. We will also explore how they are impacting on your life just now and what things you may have started or stopped doing as a consequence.
​
Once we have completed this, an individualised 'biopsychosocial' formulation will be shared with you. The formulation incorporates all relevant information from the assessment. It is like a hypothesis about how your difficulties developed, what has made things more difficult now, what might be keeping the problem going and what is likely to help. The formulation will allow us to consider goals and will guide your therapy.
Psychological Therapy
Following assessment and formulation, we will agree on a treatment plan and approximate number of sessions; this will be regularly reviewed. Our psychologists use an integrated, collaborative approach to therapy, drawing on a range of evidence-based therapeutic models tailored to suit your unique needs. We are able to adapt therapy for individual learning styles and preferences and with some of our team having lived experience of neurodivergence, we are very comfortable working with neurodivergent individuals.
Clinical Supervision
In addition to providing assessment and therapy to clients, we provide Clinical Supervision to other Practitioner Psychologists. We aim to provide a safe, reliable and reflective space for other psychologists to discuss their clinical and non-clinical work in addition to external factors impacting on this.
Meet the Team
Dr Kirsty Horne- Founder & Director
Hello, my name is Dr Kirsty Horne. I am the founder and director of Blue Skies Psychology Ltd. I am an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist and accredited EMDR Practitioner based in Central Scotland. I work with adults and offer face-to-face sessions in Glasgow and UK-wide online therapy.
​​
I have worked with clients across the lifespan within the field of Clinical Psychology since 2003, initially as an Assistant Psychologist and Research Assistant. I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Glasgow in 2010.
​
I was diagnosed as autistic at the age of 44, following one of my children being diagnosed. My own experience has given me a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent people and understanding the unique challenges they may face. Over the past few years, I have undertaken extensive training in adapting psychological therapy for neurodivergent individuals. I now work primarily with autistic people and people with ADHD, including those with a formal or self-diagnosis, who may be struggling with aspects of their neurotype, low self-esteem or the impact of past trauma. I also have expertise in supporting people experiencing emotional difficulties associated with sleep problems and physical health conditions, including cardiac conditions, stroke, chronic pain, medically unexplained symptoms and cancer. In addition, I am experienced in working with people experiencing anxiety disorders, depression, and PTSD.
​
I use an evidence-based, integrative approach and predominantly use Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). In 2025, I completed Level 1 training in the Integrated EMDR & IFS (Internal Family Systems) Model, and am currently undertaking further training in IFS. This means I incorporate 'parts work' in my therapeutic work. I have also undergone training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Behavioural Family Therapy (BFT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Health Behaviour Change (HBC) strategies.
​​​
I am very genuine, down-to-earth and approachable and would be very happy to work with you to help you achieve your goals and improve your emotional wellbeing.​

Dr Lucy Kozlowski- Clinical Psychologist
Hello, I’m Lucy. I’m a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience supporting people with both physical and mental health difficulties. I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Southampton in 2016 and have undertaken additional training in areas including ADHD assessment, working psychologically with long-term health conditions, family work, emotion-focused therapy, coaching and motivational interviewing.
I have a particular interest in neurodiversity, including ADHD assessment and diagnosis, and in supporting people to better understand and work with their neurodivergent needs. I am also interested in women's health and in supporting people who are adjusting to changes in their health, identity or circumstances. I work with people experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and loss, trauma, relationship difficulties and emotional regulation, as well as people living with long-term health conditions, chronic pain, fatigue, diabetes, women's health issues and neurological conditions.
​
My approach is warm, compassionate and non-judgemental. I work integratively, drawing on a range of psychological approaches including Coaching, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), person-centred, narrative and systemic approaches. I tailor my approach to each individual, taking time to understand their experiences and what is important to them.
​
I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where people can make sense of their experiences, process difficult emotions and develop practical strategies to manage difficulties and move towards the things that matter to them.

FAQs
How do I book an appointment?
Please get in touch using the 'contact me' section of my website. Alternatively, you can email me on AdminatBlueSkies@proton.me or text/ send me a WhatsApp message on 07938 540 486. You can also contact me via messenger from my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/blueskiespsychology/
How much does each session cost and how long does it last?
Assessment and therapy sessions are £120 for 50 minute remote sessions, or £130 for in-person sessions, payable in advance via bank transfer. I also accept clients using private medical insurance with WPA, Vitality Health, Bupa, Aviva, Allianz and Cigna. Clinical supervision sessions are £120 per hour and can be regular sessions or ad-hoc, as required.
​
Assessment can take several sessions. Following this we would arrange a session to review your 'formulation' and agree on a treatment plan and approximate number of sessions. For some people, the assessment and formulation process is all that is needed. For others, the number of sessions required can vary, depending on the complexity of the difficulties experienced.
​​​
Where are your clinics?​
​
We can see clients in person at the Wellbeing Rooms (5A Kirk Road, Bearsden), or remotely.
What is your cancellation policy?
Is the service confidential?
As all our psychologists are HCPC registered, their professional and legal duty is to respect and protect the confidentiality of clients at all times. However, in some circumstances—such as a situation where we might be concerned that you, or someone else is at risk of serious harm—it may be necessary to disclose confidential information. In this type of situation, we would endeavour to discuss this with you in advance.
Please contact us as soon as you are aware that you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Unfortunately, appointments cancelled at less than 48 hours notice will be charged the full fee. This also applies to cases of unforeseen events (such as illness or childcare difficulties), as all consultations are pre-arranged and it is unlikely that we will be able to offer the appointment slot to another client within this time frame.
Insurance Options
We accept clients using the following insurers:
TESTIMONIALS
"I found Kirsty when I was finding life extremely difficult as a late-diagnosed AuDHD person with cancer and a complex personal life. I immediately felt comfortable with her, and felt that she understood me. The fact that she is neurodivergent made a huge difference because I didn't have to explain myself constantly and I just felt seen. Kirsty was kind, compassionate and insightful and very, very supportive. I would recommend her without hesitation."
Anonymous female
"I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Kirsty. She is very neuro-affirmative, which made me feel validated and safe. This was my first time reflecting on my life through an AuDHD lens, and she helped me make sense of my experiences and the feelings that led me to start therapy. It was also my first time trying EMDR- having intellectualised my problems in the past, EMDR gave me a way to properly process my emotions and heal my core beliefs. If you are looking for a kind and reassuring therapist, I recommend Kirsty very highly :)"

Kirsty has a therapeutic style that quickly puts you at ease and I felt very comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings with her. Kirsty took time to establish the correct areas to focus on then used different targeted approaches to deal with each area of concern. Following my sessions with Kirsty I feel far more positive, less anxious and I can clearly see how far we have come through Kirsty’s guidance and therapy. I am very grateful for all the support and coping strategies Kirsty has given me."

"I have not had therapy before. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it has contributed hugely to me being able to get unstuck from the horrible situation I was in (mentally). I am better able to cope with and de-escalate negative thoughts. I think I will recognise more readily if I start to go backwards again in future."
Anonymous female
​
"I can’t thank Dr Kirsty Horne enough for the support and help she has provided me with over the last 3-4 months. I felt at ease and everything was very clearly explained and structured. My experience first time with EMDR was fantastic, it has still shocked me at how successful this has been to process my trauma. I have also come away with a lot of tips to aid my daily life and struggles with anxiety, I have a better ability to reflect and change my outlook than I did before. I am appreciative of the turnaround this support has been in such a short space of time, again - thank you! Highly recommend."
Anonymous female
​
"Dr Horne is so incredibly warm and friendly and I felt I could really open up to her. She understood the challenges of late diagnosed neurodivergence and provided me with so many valuable resources. Her reassurance and guidance has been absolutely crucial to me recognising my own sensory needs."
Anonymous female
​​​
"I am deeply grateful for the support and guidance provided by Dr. Kirsty Horne. Her insightful, compassionate, and patient approach has been instrumental in my recovery. Her astute understanding of my complex struggles is remarkable. She listens non-judgmentally and, with laser-sharp focus, identifies the root of the problem, providing clarity amidst chaos. This has been invaluable in helping me stay objective when I feel stuck."
