Chronic Pain
Teo Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, CCC, RP (Qualifying)
Chronic pain and illness can often be intertwined with past trauma, as our bodies can "keep the score" of emotional and physical stress. I specialize in helping clients manage chronic pain and illness by exploring how unresolved trauma may contribute to their physical symptoms. Through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I guide clients in processing traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact, and helping the body release stored tension. Alongside EMDR, I use mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to empower clients to regain control over their health and well-being. Together, we’ll work on alleviating the emotional burden of chronic pain, promoting healing, and enhancing quality of life.

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.
