Graeme Tainsh

I have a clinical background spanning over 10 years and have experience of working with people across the lifespan, within the role as a Registered Mental Health Nurse and Psychotherapist. I have maintained various employments within NHS services working with children, adolescents, families and adults and have worked with more complex mental health and neurodevelopmental problems in children and young people. Of central importance is my experience working with those who have experienced trauma and maltreatment, particularly from a young age and where neurodevelopmental concerns, such as Autism and ADHD, are present.

I have has also led workshops, webinars and lectures on various mental health related issues, often to undergraduate nursing students at the University of Stirling. Out with my clinical work I have experience and an active portfolio of Quality Improvement (QI) work with a keen focus of using QI methodology to implement and evaluate therapeutic services. I am also a supervisor for those qualified and delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).

I hold a specialist interest in maltreatment associated psychological problems, and works well with those who have experienced psychological trauma. Clinically I hold specialist training and interest in the delivery of Compassion Focused Therapy, of central importance Compassion Focused Group Psychotherapy (CFGP), and Compassion Focused Staff Support. I maintain monthly supervision with Dr Kate Lucre within the delivery of both approaches. I am also interested in the application of CFT within both a Coaching and a Family Therapy framework.
