Chronic Pain
Claire de la Varre
Therapist, PhD, HGDipP
When you have chronic pain or illness, you have to deal with the pain/illness itself as well as the range of negative emotions associated with having a chronic condition. The good news is that hypnotherapy and other mind-body techniques are effective at managing chronic pain, reducing stress, so you can rebuild your coping skills.

Chronic Pain
Emma Dean
Therapist, MA Hons, DipCaH, PNLP
I'm Emma, an integrative transpersonal practitioner dedicated to guiding you on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Through a blend of hypnotherapy, breathwork, meditation, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and spiritual coaching, I create a compassionate safe space for you to connect with your own innate healing intelligence. Living with chronic pain or illness can be emotionally exhausting and isolating. I help clients address the emotional and energetic dimensions of their physical experience, using mind-body approaches to ease suffering and restore agency. We work together to shift from simply surviving to reconnecting with vitality, inner strength, and hope. Healing may not always mean curing—but it can mean deep transformation.

Chronic Pain
Irene Valis
Counsellor/Therapist, Gestalt Psychotherapist, PACFA Certified Counsellor, Life Coach
I experienced chronic fatigue at the beginning of motherhood which lasted for up to 6 years. After many consultations and trying various supplements, restrictive diets and mindset shifts, I felt like I wasn't making meaningful progress.
Over time, I came to understand the role my nervous system, stress and the way I was relating to my body were playing in my experience.
Through my own personal journey and professional training, I have supported many women navigating experiences of hip and back pain, headaches, migraines, sweating, insomnia, fatigue, brain fog, IBS and Long COVID.
If you have an open mind and want to develop greater agency in how you understand and respond to your experience, I would love to support you in this process of awareness, regulation and resourcing with the potential to support greater ease, mobility and wellbeing.

Chronic Pain
Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults living with chronic pain or long-term health conditions and the ways these experiences can shape identity, mood, relationships, and daily life. Chronic pain often brings layers of loss, frustration, and adaptation, alongside the ongoing effort of managing physical symptoms.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore the emotional and psychological impact of chronic illness without reducing it to mindset or positivity. The focus is on understanding how pain is lived with, responded to, and organised around internally, rather than trying to eliminate it. Sessions are shaped around energy levels and may involve conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both.

Edinburgh's identity as Scotland's capital and a major university city — home to the University of Edinburgh, one of the world's leading research institutions — creates strong demand for therapists experienced with academic pressure, young adult transitions, and the challenges of a highly competitive intellectual environment. The city's large student population, tourism sector workforce, and growing tech community each generate distinct therapy needs, from performance anxiety and identity exploration to burnout and occupational stress. NHS Lothian provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community concentrated in Stockbridge, Morningside, and the New Town. Edinburgh's annual Festival season brings an influx of creative professionals and associated mental health demands around performance, identity, and the pressures of public artistic life.
