Counselling for Chronic Pain and Physical Illness

Though talking therapy is often considered as most relevant for helping mental health, there are a range of talking therapies that can help you adjust to difficulties or cope with chronic pain & illness.

Talking therapies, such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for pain, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) among others have been shown to help with:

  • Adjustment following physical illness or disability
  • Reduce head, neck, and back pain
  • Manage arm, leg, and limb pain
  • Reduce recurrent headaches & migraines
  • Manage dizziness
  • Improve mobility and strength
  • Overcome sleep problems
  • Adapt emotionally and functionally following work related accidents

Therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)  are particularly helpful in managing emotional reactions to pain and difficulty, and can help you re-engage with meaningful activity to improve your quality of life so that your pain or disability doesn’t hold you back.

Other approaches such as Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness can also help you live the best way you can in spite of your situation so that you enjoy life physically, mentally and emotionally.
