Chronic Pain or Illness form part of many mental illnesses, and Kate understands the relationships involved, managing the conditions collaterally through psychotherapy.
I have extensive experience providing psychological support to people living with diabetes (type 1, type 2 and gestational). I also have lived experience of diabetes. I comprehend the relentless nature of managing chronic health illness, the accompanying health anxieties, and the blame and stigma that adds to its burden.
I have experience working with people with chronic pain & illness & know the delicate balance that is needed to manage these issues. My person centered & strengths based practice helps me to support a person's individual needs & to support their families. I also specialise in working with individuals & their families around their cancer experience, including end of life care.
