Where psychology meets yoga

Grace Thorne, Clinical Psychologist and yoga teacher (RYT-200), based in the East Midlands, UK.

Here's a bit more about how I got here, and what I believe in.

Why psychology and yoga, together

Stress, burnout, anxiety and trauma are all experienced through both mind and body, so it's never made sense to me to treat them separately. Psychology offers top-down tools to build self-understanding and make sense of experience. Yoga offers bottom-up tools, asana and pranayama, to support the nervous system and calm the body's stress response. I bring both to everything I offer here.

My story

I'm a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist. My work has taken me through forensic services, child and adolescent mental health, and emergency medicine, to name a few. I trained on the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Leicester, and since qualifying I worked across some of the most demanding corners of the NHS, from a specialist eating disorder unit supporting young people, to major trauma wards, to most recently the Emergency Department.

In 2026, I made the decision to leave the NHS and focus full-time on Grace Thorne Wellbeing. It's a step I didn't take lightly, but one that lets me bring everything I've learned to a space built entirely around how I think care should feel.

Alongside that, I recently completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (RYT-200), qualifying to teach both hatha and vinyasa styles, along with breath-work and meditation. Grace Thorne Wellbeing is where those two worlds meet, evidence-based psychological care and a grounded, embodied yoga practice, under one roof.
