Chronic Pain
Georgina Lloyd
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
I provide supportive, evidence-based therapy for individuals living with chronic pain or long-term illness. In addition to my clinical training, my work is informed by personal experience of living with Type 1 diabetes, which brings a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and psychological challenges involved. I support clients in developing coping strategies, resilience, and improved quality of life while navigating ongoing health conditions.

Chronic Pain
Liz Frings
Counsellor/Therapist, PG Diploma Person-Centred Psychotherapy. EMDR Accredited
Living with chronic illness means navigating not just physical symptoms, but also the emotional weight of uncertainty, loss, and adaptation. I understand that chronic illness can reshape your identity, relationships, and sense of the future in ways that others may not fully grasp. Whether you’re struggling with grief over the life you had planned, the isolation of invisible symptoms, the frustration of medical systems, or the challenge of advocating for yourself while managing pain and fatigue—you don’t have to face this alone.
In our work together, I provide a space where your full experience is welcome. We’ll honor both your resilience and your struggles, without pressure to “stay positive” or minimize what you’re going through. My approach integrates understanding of the mind-body connection, trauma-informed care, and practical strategies for living meaningfully within your limitations. Together, we can explore identity beyond illness, navigate complex emotions, improve communication with loved ones and providers, and develop sustainable coping tools that respect your energy and capacity.
You deserve support that meets you where you are—with compassion, validation, and genuine understanding of what it means to live in a body that doesn’t always cooperate.

Chronic Pain
Kyle Davies
Psychologist, BSc MPhil CPsychol AFBPsS
Over the last 20 years I have worked extensively with sufferers of chronic fatigue and pain conditions such as ME, CFS, Adrenal Fatigue, Post-Viral Fatigue and fibromyalgia.
Leading edge scientific evidence suggests that symptoms of these conditions result from changes, irregularities or dysfunctions within the mid-brain and limbic-hypothalamic-pituitary system.
In academic terms this is known as the HPA axis, and is made up of the hypothalamus gland, located at the base of the brain; the pituitary gland, also located in the brain; and the adrenal glands, located on top of the kidneys. The hypothalamus links the nervous system and the endocrine system, it stimulates the pituitary gland to produce hormones and the adrenal gland to produce cortisol and epinephrine (commonly known as adrenaline).
The HPA axis is a major part of the neuroendocrine system that controls and regulates almost everything to do with human survival, including digestion and appetite, sleep cycles, the immune system, mood and emotions, sexual behaviour, body temperature, energy storage and expenditure. It also communicates with several regions of the brain, including the amygdala, which generates fear in response to danger, and with the hippocampus, which plays an important part in memory formation as well as in mood and motivation. In addition, the HPA axis forms part of a complex feedback system that is constantly responding to the environment both internally and externally. In response to the information it receives, the HPA axis regulates and controls the chemicals and hormones that affect body systems.
So what we can begin to see is that when irregularities are evident in these brain regions it wreaks havoc throughout the entire body – and this results in the experience of symptoms from mild to severe.
In order to recover from chronic fatigue and pain symptoms we need to understand and address the CAUSE of the irregularities within the HPA axis and mid-brain structures.
The first step in this process is to fully embrace the mind-body paradigm where we move away from the notion of the head and body, or psychological and physical, as being separate entities, rather we see them as one flowing interconnected system.
The next step is to redefine the nature of emotion, an energy in motion, and it’s role as a feedback mechanism within body and brain. As a complex physiological process, the emotional system directly modulates brain function. Blockages within the emotional system and the emotional memory system are coded within the mid brain structures. It is these blockages that result in hypothalamic and other mid brain irregularities and dysfunction.
My treatment protocol is underpinned by this new theoretical framework and understanding of the emotional system and it’s role, function and impact on the immune, endocrine and autonomic nervous systems via the HPA axis. The process involves implementing a series of tools and techniques that are designed to identify and unblock the emotional system and recode emotional memory.
Energy-Flow Coaching™ deals directly with the cause of symptoms and gives you the knowledge and guidance you need to take charge of your recovery and attain health and vitality.

Blackpool is England's most famous seaside resort and consistently one of its most deprived towns, with health outcomes—including mental health—among the worst in the country, driven by high rates of long-term unemployment, benefit dependency, substance use, and a seasonal tourism economy that provides unstable and low-paid employment for much of the workforce. Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust provides mental health services in the area, and demand significantly exceeds what is available, making access to timely NHS care difficult for many residents. A private therapy sector exists but is relatively small given the economic profile of the town's population; telehealth has become an important supplement for those with the means to access it. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, and the long-term psychological impact of entrenched poverty on individuals and families across generations.
