Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Living with chronic pain or illness fundamentally changes your relationship with your environment, a reality compounded by a medical system that frequently dismisses marginalised or complex identities. I offer a slow, gentle online space in Vancouver to process the complex emotional grief, nervous system exhaustion, and isolation that physical suffering brings. Together, we will use somatic tracking to listen to your body's messages with kindness, moving toward a collaborative and compassionate relationship with your physical self.

Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Living with chronic pain or illness means grieving the life you planned while building one your body can hold, often while feeling dismissed or unseen. The frustration, the isolation, the identity questions that come with a changed body: these deserve real attention, not just symptom checklists. You'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here to process what illness has changed, work with the anxiety and low mood that often travel with it, and reconnect with what still brings you meaning. The goal isn't just to endure, it's to genuinely understand your relationship with your body, build habits that nourish rather than deplete you, and find fulfillment within your reality. Together we'll work toward feeling more grounded, more at peace with your body, and more equipped for the life in front of you.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Chronic pain is a challenging and often overwhelming condition that can deeply affect your life. It is characterized by persistent discomfort lasting longer than three months, even after injuries or underlying issues have healed. This pain can arise from various conditions, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or neuropathy, and it can significantly diminish your quality of life.
If you are living with chronic pain, you might find yourself facing physical limitations, emotional distress, and difficulties with daily activities. This can create a frustrating cycle that often leads to feelings of isolation.
It's important to know that you are not alone in this struggle. Managing chronic pain frequently requires a holistic approach, which may include medical treatments, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and emotional support. Finding coping strategies, like mindfulness practices and stress management techniques, can be vital in helping you regain a sense of control and improve your overall well-being. Remember, taking small steps toward management can make a big difference in your journey.

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.

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.

Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
Chronic pain often reflects a nervous system stuck in activation or survival responses (fight/flight/freeze). SE helps regulate these states, release held tension, and reduce the body’s stress load, which can ease pain and improve overall functioning.

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.
