Therapy for Chronic pain

“Pain is unique to the person experiencing it. Anyone claiming to be in pain is in pain”

Bourke

Do you want to reduce your symptoms and not just ‘manage’ them? Are you fed up with feeling you are ‘stuck’ with your pain forever and have lost hope that it can change?

It doesn’t have to be this way

I use a very specific approach to helping you if you are experiencing chronic pain. Having helped patients to ‘manage’ their pain for a long time I decided I wanted I more hopeful way of offering recovery from chronic pain and proceeded to expand my pain knowledge.

Pain is the result of mind and body working together, they are always connected and affect each other. A Mindbody approach converges knowledge of pain and trauma science, stress physiology, psychology, and emotional factors. I incorporate this awareness as well as modern pain science and the knowledge that pain is neuroplastic (changeable!) to help a person.

MindBody Therapies Healing, Counselling and Psychotherapy

Therapy involves an educational, evidence-based and self-empowering approach to help individuals identify and acknowledge the underlying causes of their chronic pain while also developing healthier neural pathways that allow a pain free, healthy life.

My treatment approach focuses on four main areas: Education, Emotions, Behaviour and Lifestyle. All of these play a significant role in enabling individuals to become more stress resilient, emotionally aware and able to live a healthier, active life moving forwards.

My approach is an accumulation of my physiotherapist training and experience as well as my counselling skills. In order to develop my knowledge in this area I have carried out training in the following:
