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, and rebuilding the emotional resilience needed to cope.

Chronic Pain
Samantha Tomer, LLC
Licensed Professional Counsellor, M.Ed., LPC, NCC
Living with a chronic illness is life-changing and often misunderstood. Many people around you may not see the invisible ways you are suffering, leaving you feeling isolated or dismissed. As someone living with chronic illness myself, I understand both the emotional and physical toll it can take. I bring not only clinical expertise but lived experience to our work together, offering a space of compassion, validation, and practical strategies for navigating this complex journey.

Chronic Pain
Liz Frings
Counsellor/Therapist, PG Diploma Person-Centred Psychotherapy. EMDR Accredited
Living with chronic illness means navigating not just physical symptoms, but also the emotional weight of uncertainty, loss, and adaptation. I understand that chronic illness can reshape your identity, relationships, and sense of the future in ways that others may not fully grasp. Whether you’re struggling with grief over the life you had planned, the isolation of invisible symptoms, the frustration of medical systems, or the challenge of advocating for yourself while managing pain and fatigue—you don’t have to face this alone.
In our work together, I provide a space where your full experience is welcome. We’ll honor both your resilience and your struggles, without pressure to “stay positive” or minimize what you’re going through. My approach integrates understanding of the mind-body connection, trauma-informed care, and practical strategies for living meaningfully within your limitations. Together, we can explore identity beyond illness, navigate complex emotions, improve communication with loved ones and providers, and develop sustainable coping tools that respect your energy and capacity.
You deserve support that meets you where you are—with compassion, validation, and genuine understanding of what it means to live in a body that doesn’t always cooperate.

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.

13 Years Experience
Online in Edinburgh, Scotland Scotland
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.
