Vancouver, British Columbia therapist: Spencer Copland, registered psychotherapist
Chronic Pain

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.

Vancouver, British Columbia therapist: Alex Henderson, registered psychotherapist
Chronic Pain

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.

Vancouver, British Columbia therapist: Candice Seligman, counselor/therapist
Chronic Pain

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.

Vancouver, British Columbia therapist: Heron Payne Counselling, counselor/therapist
Chronic Pain

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.

Abbotsford, British Columbia therapist: Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness |, counselor/therapist
Chronic Pain

Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness |

Counsellor/Therapist, Integrative Holistic Coach and Practitioner | Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner |
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect far more that the body. It can change your relationship with work, sleep, movement, identity, relationships, hope, and the future you imagined for yourself. I offer a space where all of that can belong. Through a holistic and somatic approach, we can explore the relationship between your nervous system, emotions, thoughts, physical experience, and the stresses your system carries. The goal isn't to dismiss or explain away physical symptoms, but to support greater regulation, resilience, self-understanding, and quality of life alongside what your body is experiencing.

Often there is a lot of grief and loss in the pain. My goal is to help you feel supported, regain a sense of control, and live more fully alongside the challenges of chronic pain.
