Chronic Pain or Illness
Joel Mayer
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv
By learning ways to make space for the difficult emotions, thoughts, and sensations that come with chronic pain or illness, we can learn to be more mindful compassionate towards ourselves rather than fight so much against what is the reality of this moment. With compassion and an understanding that progress has to be made at your pace, I look forward to working with you to help you pursue meaning and fulfillment amidst chronic pain and illness.

Chronic Pain or Illness
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.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Josiane Mapplebeck
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, MEd, RCT-C, CCC
I believe that nurturing the mind-body-soul connection can help promote physical, mental, and emotional wellness in those navigating chronic pain and other health conditions. My lived experience also supports this belief – fostering my own connection has dramatically improved my holistic wellness and relationship with my physical health.
Life is a story with many chapters. Before I became a therapist, I was a neuroscientist and medical researcher, a career which fostered a deep understanding of the brain and nervous system. Inspired by my personal journey with chronic illness, I focused my work on the neuroscience and management of chronic pain, exploring how the body, mind, and brain influences physical health.
My approach to therapy integrates these unique insights along with knowledge from different therapeutic modalities, particularly mindfulness-based approaches, alongside inspiration from my experiences as a yoga instructor.
I will support you in your unique journey with chronic pain or other health conditions, always respecting that you are the expert in your story.

I am certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and have completed extensive training in other evidence-based mind-body approaches to overcoming chronic pain, fatigue and other neuroplastic symptoms. I am also a person with lived experience of chronic pain and ME/CFS, who has seen profound improvements through the use of Pain Reprocessing Therapy and other mindfulness-based techniques. Because of this, I have strong foundation of knowledge and tools to support clients navigating similar challenges.

Living with Chronic Pain: My Counsel‑Based Approach
When pain becomes a constant companion, the mind and body enter a silent negotiation that can erode hope, identity, and daily functioning. As a counsellor specializing in chronic pain, I view my role not as a “fix‑it” service but as a partnership that restores agency and meaning within the limits that pain imposes.
1. Validation first – I begin every session by acknowledging the reality of the client’s experience. Chronic pain is often invisible; hearing a therapist say, “I hear you, and your pain matters,” can dismantle the shame that fuels isolation.
2. Collaborative narrative building – Together we map the story of pain: when it started, how it’s changed over time, and what beliefs have emerged (“I’m broken,” “I’m a burden”). By externalizing pain as a “part‑player” rather than an intrinsic flaw, clients can begin to challenge unhelpful scripts.
3. Skills for the present moment – Mindful body scanning, paced breathing, and gentle movement are woven into our work. These practices cultivate interoceptive awareness, allowing clients to distinguish between pain signals and fear‑driven amplification.
4. Cognitive‑behavioral reframing – I help clients identify catastrophizing thoughts and replace them with realistic, compassionate alternatives (“I may feel pain, but I can still engage in what matters”).
5. Values‑driven action planning – Pain will not disappear overnight, but life can still be purposeful. We set small, measurable goals aligned with the client’s core values—whether it’s strolling through a garden, joining a support group, or simply savoring a favorite song.
6. Ongoing support & self‑compassion – Progress is non‑linear. Regular check‑ins, relapse‑prevention strategies, and encouragement of self‑kindness keep momentum alive.
My mission is to empower those living with chronic pain to rewrite their inner dialogue, reclaim control over their choices, and find resilience in the spaces between flare‑ups. Together, we turn “pain‑dominant” living into a balanced, hope‑infused narrative.
