Chronic Pain
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
Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Chronic pain and illness affect not just the body, but the mind and emotions as well. They can show up as tension, fatigue, stress, or a sense of being disconnected from one’s body. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy gently engage both body and mind, helping release stored tension, improve bodily awareness, manage emotional stress, and foster a greater sense of resilience, agency, and well-being despite ongoing health challenges.

Chronic Pain
Shemina Jeraj
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
I have many years of Oncology experience which has given me in-depth knowledge in a patient's journey through cancer. Cancer not only affects an individual but it affects their family and a wide circle of caregivers. Finding the right support in this challenging time can be beneficial for the individual's mental, emotional as well as physical health whether you are dealing with cancer or are a caregiver for someone going through cancer.

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.

Rachelle Tersigni
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I support people living with chronic pain or illness in understanding the emotional and nervous-system dimensions of their experience. Therapy emphasizes pacing, self-trust, and reducing the stress patterns that can amplify suffering.
