Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Chronic pain or illness can impact every aspect of your life. Having lived with chronic illness myself and supported others through their journey, I understand the daily challenges of managing physical pain while maintaining emotional and mental well-being. My approach integrates both traditional therapy and somatic techniques, helping you cope with the emotional impact of chronic illness. Together, we can work on strategies that ease both physical discomfort and the mental burdens that often accompany chronic conditions.

Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
At Nightingale Counselling, we understand that chronic pain is not simply a physical experience but one that ripples through every area of life, affecting identity, relationships, work, and emotional wellbeing in ways that are often underestimated and misunderstood. Grounded in modern pain science, our therapists work with clients to understand the profound connection between mind and body, helping to influence the way the brain modulates pain signals while also addressing the grief, fear, shame, and despair that so frequently accompany persistent pain. As one of the only counselling practices in Vancouver embedded within a multidisciplinary clinic, we offer direct access to physiotherapists, kinesiologists, and other allied health professionals, ensuring that clients receive the integrated, whole-person care that chronic pain truly requires.

Rachael Burnett
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
Living with chronic pain or illness often means navigating a body that feels unpredictable. This can work to deeply impact your confidence, your sense of capability, and how you view yourself. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to help you cultivate a sense of safety and support within your body, rather than feeling at war with it. Together, we can gently explore the heavy thoughts and complex emotions that chronic illness brings up, especially those that try to make you feel small, defined by your limits, or isolated. Amidst the challenges, we will honor your deep inner strength and resilience, working collaboratively to find ways to support your well-being. This work happens at your pace, holding space for both the hard days and the moments of grace.

Kendra Anselmo Counselling
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Living with chronic pain or illness can impact your emotional well-being, identity, and relationships. Drawing from both clinical experience and personal lived experience, I understand the complex emotional weight of navigating ongoing health challenges. Therapy can offer a space to process grief, reconnect with yourself, build self-compassion, and find ways to move through life with greater resilience and support.
