Chronic Pain
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are living with chronic pain or illness, you may feel exhausted in ways that are hard to explain. The ongoing physical discomfort, medical appointments, and uncertainty can impact your mood, relationships, identity, and sense of control. You may grieve the version of life you once had as you adapt to new limitations.
At Selah Counselling, we recognize that chronic pain and illness affect both body and mind. We provide a compassionate space where you can process frustration, grief, fear, and fatigue without feeling dismissed. Our work includes support for the nervous system, coping strategies for flare-ups, pacing skills, and help rebuilding a sense of agency in your current reality. The goal is not to deny the hardship, but to strengthen resilience, increase emotional steadiness, and help you live with greater clarity and hope even within ongoing physical challenges.

Chronic Pain
Natalia Vyzhol
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Living with Chronic Pain or Illness
Chronic conditions affect more than just the body—they shape how we think, feel, relate, and move through daily life. My approach is designed to meet these challenges with depth, flexibility, and compassion.
Rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, I support a process of self-awareness, emotional regulation, and mind-body integration. Together, we explore how pain is experienced physically and emotionally, and how subconscious patterns may influence the way it’s held in the body.
My Approach Includes:
• Thoughtfully tailored support based on your unique condition, needs, and goals
• Integration of therapeutic modalities including CBT, mindfulness, psychosomatic awareness, and Gestalt principles
• Ongoing reflection and adjustment to meet what’s emerging in your process
• Attention to both physical discomfort and emotional impact—without rushing or bypassing
This work is about learning to live in relationship with your body, not in battle with it. It’s about building resilience, expanding choice, and finding new ways to move forward—one step at a time.

Chronic Pain
Donna McLean
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BA Honours (Psychology), MSW, RSW
Chronic pain or illness can feel limiting , making it hard to find pleasure in life. I know, having lived with a chronic illness for decades. I can travel with you as you navigate these challenges, and offer tools for managing some of the psychological struggle that goes along with the physical struggle; struggles like "why me", the stress and pain of trying to get through the day, feeling different from others, and the uncertainty and helplessness you may feel. There are tools like grounding, mindfulness and acceptance I can help you with, and we can do work with past experiences that may be contributing to some of your present psychological suffering.

Chronic Pain
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Chronic pain and illness often reflect unresolved emotional trauma, where repressed emotions and chronic stress can rewire the nervous system. In my approach, we explore the root of the pain to identify the emotions that have not been fully expressed or processed. By focusing on the whole person, not just the symptoms, we work on cultivating self-compassion, emotional awareness, and reconnecting the mind and body.

Chronic Pain
Arne Pedersen - Hypnotherapy Victoria
Hypnotherapist, RCCH
Living with chronic pain or long-term illness can be physically exhausting and emotionally overwhelming. Beyond the symptoms themselves, many people find their nervous system becomes stuck in a state of vigilance, tension, or struggle, making it difficult for the body to rest, regulate, and heal.
From a mindfulness-based perspective, pain is often understood as the body’s way of communicating that something needs attention or change. When signals from the body are ignored or pushed through over time, the nervous system may respond by amplifying those signals — not as punishment, but as an attempt to be heard and protected.
Thoughts, emotions, and perception also play an important role. Ongoing fear, resistance, pessimism, or self-judgment can be reflected in the body as tension and unease, much like waking from a bad dream with the body still holding fear. Over time, this lack of internal ease can interrupt the body’s natural flow and regulation, contributing to persistent pain.
Chronic pain also commonly goes hand-in-hand with disrupted or poor-quality sleep. When the body doesn’t have enough opportunity to rest deeply, its ability to repair, replenish, and heal is reduced, which can further reinforce pain and fatigue.
In our work together, the focus is on gently restoring a sense of safety, awareness, and ease within the body. Through mindfulness practices, breath awareness, and body-based attention, clients learn how to relate differently to physical sensations, reduce resistance, and support the nervous system in settling.
Hypnotherapy can further support this process by helping update subconscious protective patterns and creating felt experiences of calm and safety that also support more restorative rest. While this work does not replace medical care, many people find that as regulation improves, both pain and sleep begin to shift in more supportive ways.

Halifax is Atlantic Canada's largest city and a hub for universities, the military, and ocean-tech industries, creating a therapy community serving students, naval personnel, and knowledge workers navigating the pressures of high-achieving careers in a smaller city. Dalhousie University and Canadian Forces Base Halifax generate distinct demand for therapists who specialize in academic stress, military trauma, and the particular challenges of military family life. Nova Scotia Health provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving the South End, Bedford, and Dartmouth. Halifax's relatively small size means specialist therapist availability can be limited in some areas, and telehealth has become especially important for accessing care across Atlantic Canada.
