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.

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.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Chronic pain and illness often have layers that go beyond the physical body. I work somatically, in a trauma informed and nervous system aware way, to gently explore the root patterns that may be contributing to ongoing symptoms. Our work may include inner child healing, IFS & parts work, hypnotherapy, or energy-healing based practices, always guided by your system and paced with care. I offer a specialized body-based healing program for women who are ready to receive in-depth, holistic, support for their physical and health concerns. I would love to support you.

Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
As I understand from decades of living with chronic pain or illness, it can affect far more than your physical health. You may be coping with exhaustion, uncertainty, grief, frustration, changes in identity, or the strain of having to continually explain what you are experiencing to others. I offer a supportive space to explore the emotional impact of chronic health challenges without minimizing the reality of what your body is going through. Drawing on mindfulness, somatic awareness, and parts-oriented work, I help clients develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves, navigate difficult emotions, and find greater steadiness and choice while living with circumstances that may not be fully within their control.
