Therapist Directory
The practitioners below are independent, professionally registered therapists who provide private services from Borders Therapy Hub spaces. Each manages their own practice, availability, and fees.
To make an enquiry, simply contact your chosen therapist directly using the link on their profile. Each ‘View full profile’ link will take you to the therapist’s own page (for example, on Counselling Directory), where you can contact them and arrange sessions directly.
Borders Therapy Hub provides space and infrastructure only; it does not employ therapists or oversee their clinical work.
