Dr Emily Haigh Psychology – Specialist Psychological Therapy in Lancaster

About

Welcome to Dr Emily Haigh Psychology, based in Lancaster. Emily is a fully qualified Clinical Psychologist who has worked across a range of NHS services since 2011. Her broad experience covers both mental and physical health, giving her a unique understanding of complex needs.

Emily’s final NHS role focused on pain management, where she gained close to ten years of specialised experience. Since 2021, she has dedicated her time to private practice, offering a personal, flexible approach to therapy.

Her work helps people facing challenges such as anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, perfectionism, depression, and adapting to health conditions. She particularly enjoys supporting individuals adjusting to major life changes, including becoming a parent, receiving a long-term health diagnosis, navigating the menopause, managing relationship breakdowns, or coping with career transitions.

Alongside her professional life, Emily is a mum and passionate about exercise. Running regularly helps her maintain balance and calm, a practice she often encourages clients to explore within their own lives.
