Dr Veronica McBurnie
MBChB (Glasgow) , MRCGP , DFFP , LFHom(Med)
Clinical Director, Founder, Family GP & Specialist in Integrative Medicine
I’ve always believed that truly effective healthcare must go beyond symptom management—it should empower people to reconnect with their bodies, understand their emotional wellbeing, and feel supported as a whole person. My own professional and personal journey has reinforced this again and again, and it led me to create a space where integrative, person-centred care could flourish. That vision became Westbourne Medical Studios.
Westbourne was born out of the desire to blend the best of conventional and holistic approaches under one nurturing roof. From tranquil, professional clinical rooms to a creative arts studio, a family kitchen for nutrition education, and a meditation garden, every part of Westbourne has been designed with healing and balance in mind.
As a private GP, I’m proud to offer bespoke consultations tailored to your physical, emotional, and energetic needs. Whether you're visiting for a general appointment, integrative medicine, or something more specialised, my goal is to support you with care that is thoughtful, evidence-informed, and deeply compassionate.
In addition to GP services, I have a particular interest in Voice Analysis and Frequency Medicine, as well as emotional healing techniques that work with the body's energy systems. My clinical work is also closely tied to my passions—meditation, singing, and sound therapies—all of which I use to help patients reconnect with their own voice, both literally and metaphorically.
I look forward to welcoming you to Westbourne Medical Studios and supporting your journey towards vibrant, whole-person wellbeing.

Diane O’Hara
Nurse Consultant
My name is Diane O’Hara, and I’m an Advanced Nurse Practitioner with over 28 years of experience in healthcare. I began my nursing journey at the age of 17 as an auxiliary nurse, and I’ve continued to build on that foundation through study, hands-on experience, and a deep passion for patient care.
Today, I work as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner and Independent Prescriber, which allows me to assess, diagnose, and treat patients autonomously in clinic. My role is wonderfully varied—I cover triage, minor injury and illness, sexual and reproductive health, respiratory care, vaccinations, hypertension, and general health and wellbeing. I’m also passionate about health promotion and supporting patients in making informed, empowering choices about their care.
Throughout my career, I’ve remained committed to ongoing learning, keeping my knowledge up to date so I can offer safe, effective, evidence-based care to every person I see. I take pride in creating a welcoming, supportive environment where patients feel heard and respected.
Outside of work, I’m happiest when spending time with my family, especially on long walks by the beach. I love to travel—Dubai has been a standout so far—and I have a real passion for photography, particularly capturing landmarks, historical buildings, and the beauty of the Scottish countryside.
I’m also a big coffee lover and a keen baker, so when I’m not socialising with friends, you’ll often find me in the kitchen perfecting a cake!
I look forward to welcoming you to Westbourne and supporting your health and wellbeing with care and compassion.

Helen Skinner
Hypnotherapist
Over 13 years ago, I experienced a truly empowering hypnobirth that changed the way I viewed the mind-body connection—and inspired me to train in Natal Hypnotherapy. That journey led me to study the wider applications of hypnotherapy, and I went on to earn a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and an Advanced Certificate in Hypnosis for Behavioural Change.
Since qualifying, I’ve supported clients across a broad range of emotional and behavioural concerns, including during my time at a busy psychology and counselling clinic in Singapore. Now based in the UK, I continue to work with individuals and couples on everything from anxiety and low mood to fertility, birth preparation, and trauma recovery.
I have a particular interest in maternal health and frequently support those navigating unexplained infertility, IVF journeys, birth preparation, or postnatal trauma. Whatever the focus, my priority is creating a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and ready to move forward.
Each session is tailored to you, drawing from the latest neuroscience and therapeutic techniques. Alongside hypnotherapy, I’m also a certified Havening Practitioner and mBIT Professional Coach—modalities that blend modern research with timeless wisdom to help rewire limiting beliefs and unlock positive change.
Transformation doesn’t have to be hard. With the right tools and guidance, it can be gentle, creative, and truly life-changing. Whether you’re seeking emotional resilience, clarity, confidence, or relief from long-standing issues, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strength and reprogram the unconscious patterns that are no longer serving you.
Please feel free to reach out—I’d love to support you on your path to healing and renewal.
