My interest in chronic pain began when I developed Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome. I began to explore meditation, mindfulness and other therapies.

These helped me to accept, and manage, my pain but not resolve it.

I was mystified, and so were my doctors. We knew my pain was real but what was causing it?

Nobody knew the answer.

Much later I discovered research showing how early trauma and long-term stress can strongly influence the role the brain plays in our experience of pain.

I began to work on the source, not just the symptoms.

This was my breakthrough.

After several months of Pain Reprocessing Therapy, I noticed my pain levels had reduced, and today I am free of chronic pain, something I would not have thought possible after 30 years.

I’m a SIRPA trained psychology graduate, counsellor and accredited Breathworks teacher.

If you think this different approach to chronic pain would work for you, please get in touch.

I also welcome referrals from GPs, physiotherapists, osteopaths and other health professionals.
