Private Therapy
Work directly with a qualified, independent therapist in a dedicated purpose-built space.

Choose the therapist, approach, specialism, and schedule that fit you best.

What to expect from private therapy

Private therapy gives you full choice over who you work with and how.

 

All therapists listed here are independent, qualified, professionally registered practitioners offering tailored one-to-one support in purpose-built rooms, with online options also available.

 

You contact your chosen therapist directly to arrange sessions, agree a schedule, and work in the way that best suits your needs.

  • Immediate access

  • Choose your own therapist

  • Access specialist approaches

  • Set a pace that suits you

  • Agree times directly

  • Short or long-term support

  • Work in a dedicated therapeutic space

  • Online options available

By choosing a private therapist based here, you directly support Insight Youth’s free counselling for young people in the Borders.

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.

If cost is a barrier

Not everyone chooses private therapy, and some people prefer a lower-cost option while still accessing professional support.

​

Borders Therapy Hub also lists Subsidised Counselling (£25) and Free Support for young people (8–25) for those who need a lower-cost route. 

​

Borders Therapy Hub is not a full directory of every counselling or wellbeing service in the Scottish Borders.
