Chronic Pain & Illness Counselling

Living with chronic pain or chronic illness brings more than physical symptoms, it can affect your emotions, energy, relationships, identity, and day-to-day functioning. My virtual and telephone sessions provide compassionate, personalized support that meets you exactly where you are.

Managing symptoms, stress, and emotional impact

• Coping with unpredictable symptoms, pain flares, and fatigue

• Building coping strategies to ease emotional distress, manage pain, and support overall well-being

• Addressing the emotional impact of chronic conditions, including anxiety, depression, grief, frustration, and uncertainty

• ​

Rebuilding identity and navigating change

• Supporting grief related to the life changes, losses, and limitations that come with chronic illness

• Rebuilding identity, confidence, and connection

• Navigating medical trauma and stressful healthcare interaction

​​

Creating a life that works with your body

• Exploring ways to improve or maintain functioning while fully honouring your limits and your body’s needs

• Creating routines and strategies that work with, not against, your body
