Chronic Pain or Illness
Darren Williamson
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC (#23397)
People often think of chronic pain as a physical problem. But living with chronic pain can take a heavy psychological toll. It can create feelings of anger, hopelessness, shame and isolation. It can impact your sleep, your diet, and can contribute to a variety of psychological symptoms such as depression, phobia and anxiety.
Together we will make a pain management plan that involves identifying the thoughts and emotions contributing to your pain. Through counselling, we can find a way for you to handle your pain more effectively, and improve your self-esteem and overall quality of life.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Living with chronic illness or chronic pain can feel all-consuming and exhausting, affecting your physical health, emotional well-being, mental health, and day-to-day functioning. It often involves significant grief—particularly if diagnosis comes later in life—as you adjust to changes in your body, abilities, identity, and the way you move through the world.
I have a personal understanding of this experience, as I was diagnosed with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in my late 20s. Navigating chronic pain and nervous system dysregulation has been an ongoing process of learning, adaptation, and finding new ways to support my body and wellbeing.
In our work together, we focus on reconnecting with self, building resilience, and developing sustainable strategies for daily life. This includes cultivating self-compassion, strengthening nervous system regulation, and identifying supportive resources and pacing that honour your capacity.
I draw from Adlerian Therapy, IFS, ACT, EMDR and somatic therapy to support both emotional processing and practical coping. Together, we work toward creating a more balanced and manageable way of living with chronic illness or pain.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to learn more about my approach.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Do you sometimes feel hopeless in living a rich and full-filling life due to debilitating pain or illness? If so, I can assure you there are ways to still experience pleasure despite the hardships. A fundamental part of therapy involves helping you express your pain as well as find different ways of relating to it. Rather than relate to the pain in ways that interfere with your lifelong goals of happiness and growth I help you work with your pain in a different way. The models that I predominantly use for this area of focus are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy. As we connect these models to your unique experiences of pain or illness, you may discover that even though discomfort is present, it does not have to take over or disrupt the type of life that you would like to live. If you are somebody experiencing chronic pain or illness, I would be happy to work with you and devise a treatment plan that will help to distill hope for a new and improved future. Feel free to contact me, it is never too late to make positive changes in your life.

Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Living with chronic pain or illness changes not just your body, but your sense of who you are and what you can count on. I work with clients navigating grief, identity shifts, medical trauma, and the relational weight of being ill in a world that prefers you to get better quickly. Therapy here isn't about acceptance as a destination. It's about having somewhere honest to put all of it.

Yanna Martinek
Counsellor/Therapist, R.C.C.
I bring both lived and professional experience working with chronic illness and pain, and predominantly use Pain Reprocessing Therapy to support meaningful change. This approach focuses on retraining the brain’s response to symptoms, reducing fear, and restoring a sense of safety in the body. The aim is not to invalidate your experience, but to open new pathways for relief. Chronic illness can be deeply isolating and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Alex Henderson
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, B.A
I bring lived experience and both with chronic illness and pain as well as an intimate knowledge of how therapy can interface with these experiences. I recognise the grief and rage that can become key markers of our lives when we experience these conditions and I understand how anger and sadness can become braided and fused when we think about our bodies and our health. Nothing is too much for me to hear and everything is welcome when we discuss health.

Chronic pain and chronic illnesses can be devastating to experience, particularly if there is no treatment for them. From a psychological perspective, we know and acknowledge that you have a biological cause of your pain and illness that we can't change through therapy. What we CAN help with is managing your pain and illness. This can include identifying and working through barriers to taking your medications or making medical appointments to manage your illness, identifying patterns and triggers that make your symptoms worse, and addressing the stress, anxiety, and depression your illness and pain can cause.
