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.

Aaron Chin
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with chronic pain or illness, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

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
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.
