Not everyone feels festive at Christmas and that’s okay. If this season brings up stress, sadness or overwhelm, you are not alone 🤍

We’ll be sharing more supportive posts throughout December ✨

At Shore Psychology, being a Social Enterprise isn’t just a structure, it’s a commitment to making high-quality, trauma-informed mental health support more accessible in our community.

Since opening in February, we’ve worked closely with partners who share our values, including Multicultural Family Base (MCFB) and Crew 2000, to widen access to compassionate, evidence-based care for those who need it most.

Alongside this, our Leith clinic has become a space for connection and wellbeing — hosting yoga, Nia dancing, Relax Kids sessions and community workshops that support mind, body, and confidence.

We’re incredibly proud of the impact so far, and we’re only just getting started.

In Amy’s words: “There is a real need for what Shore provides, from therapy to community events — we truly are bridging the gap to better mental health.”

Most people have heard the term social enterprise — but do you really know what it means?

At Shore Psychology, we’re proud to operate as a Community Interest Company (CIC), which means our purpose comes first. Every part of our work — from 1:1 support to community partnerships — is designed to create real social impact and increase access to trauma-informed, neuroinclusive care.

This carousel breaks down the basics:
✨ what a Social Enterprise is
✨ how it differs from traditional businesses and charities
✨ and why Shore chose this model from day one

If you’d like to dive deeper into how Social Enterprises work — and how we’re making an impact here in Edinburgh — you can read the full article on our website:

We’d love you to share this post to help raise awareness of Social Enterprises in Scotland 💙
