Profile Information

Are you just not quite feeling yourself? Are strong emotions and fears from the past

affecting your present? Are you just going through the motions and longing for a deeper

connection with yourself? Please know you are not alone. It takes incredible strength and

courage to ask for professional help.


Welcome to Dr Calum Rankin’s Therapy Service, Waves Within Psychology (online & in-

person appointments). By providing evidence-based therapies (e.g. EMDR, CBT), Calum aims

to help you turn inner burdens into breakthroughs, cultivating Wellness, Authenticity,

Values, Empowerment & Self-Compassion (WAVES) within. Key aspects linking to increased

emotional well-being, self-belief and acceptance as well as helping navigate life’s challenges

with more ease. 


With 10+ years of experience, including in the NHS and Holistic Settings in Thailand, Calum

understands and treats a range of mental health difficulties in an inclusive, de-stigmatising

and professional way. He has particular experience supporting people from marginalised

groups e.g. LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse, addiction recovery meaning that his approach is

affirming and deeply empathic towards anyone who has experienced ‘outsiderness.’


Calum continues to deepen his practice with post-doctoral training. For example, EMDR

therapy, which is evidenced based and one of the recommended treatments for trauma-

related distress. Furthermore, while diagnostic labels can be helpful Calum understands

emotional pain and distress is highly personal, complex, and affects people in many ways.

With this in mind, he can help you work through distressing experiences even if they don’t

necessarily fit with a label.
