I also specialise in chronic illness such as ME\/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis\/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). With a compassionate and flexible approach, I use a range of therapeutic modalities to meet each client\u2019s unique needs.\r\nBy integrating these modalities, I support clients in understanding the roots of their difficulties, while also equipping them with practical tools for change. I work holistically, considering emotional, mental, and relational aspects of well-being, and I aim to foster greater self-awareness, resilience, and self-acceptance.\r\nI have experience working with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Whether you\u2019re seeking support during a difficult time, or looking to explore deeper personal growth, I offer a safe and confidential environment where you can feel heard and empowered.\r\nFor those with a chronic illness, I provide a calm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore the emotional, physical, and psychological impact of living with disability and long-term health conditions such as autoimmune disorders, fibromyalgia, ME\/CFS, and other invisible illnesses.\r\nLiving with chronic illness often involves more than just managing symptoms\u2014it can affect identity, relationships, work, and mental well-being. I work collaboratively with clients to navigate these challenges, offering support in coping with grief and loss, fatigue, frustration, fear, anxiety, and the sense of isolation that can often accompany long-term illness. I have a special understanding of ME\/CFS with all the language and issues that are involved.<\/p>Practice description<\/b><\/p>Areas of Specialisation<\/p>\r\n\u2022 Emotional impact of chronic illness<\/p>\r\n\u2022 Identity and self-esteem<\/p>\r\n\u2022 Coping with pain and fatigue<\/p>\r\n\u2022 Health anxiety and medical trauma<\/p>\r\n\u2022 Navigating relationships and boundaries<\/p>\r\n\u2022 Depression and anxiety related to illness<\/p>\r\n\u2022 Lifestyle changes and adjustment<\/p>\r\n\u2022 Loss of independence or ability<\/p>\r\nTherapeutic Approach<\/b><\/p>\r\nAs an integrative practitioner, I tailor each session to the individual to support whole-person healing.
