Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
It takes courage to ask for help. I am aware of the enormous amount of pain people carry every day, everywhere and I feel compelled to reach out and help them tap into a more meaningful life, to teach them they have value, to help them gain an increased sense of control over their own life, to help them recognize their resilience and improve the quality of their relationships. We are all in this together.

Claire de la Varre
Therapist, PhD, HGDipP
If life feels overwhelming, therapy can help you find a way forward. My aim is simple: to help you feel better, think more clearly and feel more in control of your life.
Whether you are struggling with illness, anxiety, relationships, difficult emotions or unwanted habits, we can work together to make things feel more manageable.
I take a whole-person approach. We look at what is happening in your mind and body, as well as the relationships and circumstances that shape your life. I will help you understand what you need and develop practical ways to feel better and make lasting changes.
I can help with things like anxiety, low mood, smoking, drinking, binge eating, nail biting, doom scrolling and other habits you would like to change. I can also help you build healthier behaviours, greater confidence and emotional resilience.
My approach combines Human Givens therapy where we look at whether your basic emotional needs are being met, hypnotherapy, and Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT). You will have tools and practical resources to use between sessions, including recordings and handouts.

Heather Macfarlane
Registered Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
I decided on this profession as having had therapy myself I know that it can make such a difference and I'm passionate about helping others fulfill their potential and not be held back in life by issues that can be dealt with. It can help to have someone impartial to talk to who can help you through difficult times and give you some space to deal with whatever is causing your distress. This is where I can help. I believe people seek therapy because they want to make a change in their lives. This can be scary, but I hope to be able to offer a supportive, calm, safe environment for you to explore your issues and work towards the best solution for you.
I have worked with people on a wide variety of issues including OCD, phobias, tokophobia (fear of pregnancy and childbirth) general anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationships and weight issues. I am an Accredited Member of COSCA, the professional body for counsellors in Scotland and am fully insured by the Psychologists Protection Society.

Funmi Oni
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP, MSc, Dip in PPC
I know what it's like to feel stuck. For two decades, I battled with low self-esteem, watching it chip away at opportunities and relationships. I've also experienced the complexities of marriage firsthand. These aren't just credentials on my wall – they're chapters of my story that help me truly understand what you might be going through.
Since qualifying as a person-centered counselor in 2009, I've developed an approach that adapts to each person who walks through my door. As a registered BACP member and Gottman-trained relationship counselor, I bring both my professional expertise and genuine human understanding to our sessions.
People often tell me I have a way of making them feel instantly at ease. Maybe it's because I believe in you even before we meet. I've seen, time and time again, how people find their own answers when they're given the right space and support to explore them. There's no rush here – we'll move at whatever pace feels right for you. Life has a way of throwing curveballs when we least expect them. Sometimes, these changes knock us off our feet, and that's okay.
What matters isn't how many times we fall, but knowing there's someone ready to help us stand back up. That's where I come in. Think of me as a trusted guide who'll walk beside you as you rediscover your inner strength. I will be honored to be part of your journey.
