You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns that no longer make sense to you. Anxiety, low mood, trauma, or persistent overthinking may be affecting your relationships, work, or sense of self. You might appear to be functioning on the outside, yet feel internally exhausted or disconnected.
Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware, but feel frustrated that they continue to struggle despite trying hard to cope, or having therapy before that didn’t fully address the problem. You may be seeking a deeper understanding of what is driving your difficulties, alongside practical ways to create change.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
“Kind,” said the boy.

These simple words resonate deeply with me. Kindness is often overlooked, yet I believe it is an important part of meaningful therapeutic work. When we feel accepted and understood, it can become possible to say things we haven't been able to say elsewhere.

Life can feel hard sometimes.
A crisis that throws everything we took for granted into the air, crashing us and our life into a million pieces.
A gnawing sense that we are running from ourselves, our past, things that we are scared to face but we know are dictating our current life.
A subtle but disquieting sense that life was supposed to be or feel different to this, that we are meant for more, but we don’t know what.
A realisation that our mind is at constant war with us and the fear and lack of peace that goes along with that.

Chronic Pain Counsellors
How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophising, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.
Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.
How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
