Chronic Pain or Illness
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.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Ulrike Nau-Debor
Psychologist, CPsychol, AFBPsS, HCPC registered
At my practice, I specialise in supporting clients with autoimmune diseases, addressing the unique psychological challenges they face.
Experiencing the early symptoms of an autoimmune disorder can be distressing, especially when diagnosis takes time and initial symptoms are often dismissed by medical professionals. This journey can leave individuals feeling unheard and invalidated, adding to their emotional burden. Once diagnosed, clients often grapple with the grief and trauma associated with their condition.
Living with an autoimmune disorder means managing not only the physical symptoms but also the psychological impact. Chronic pain and illness can take a significant toll on mental health, making it essential to find effective coping strategies. Our work together focuses on addressing this trauma, both from the diagnosis and the ongoing symptoms.
We also explore how adapted behaviors might inadvertently worsen the condition, aiming to develop healthier patterns that support well-being. For many, potential childhood trauma can intersect with their current health challenges, and we work to untangle these complex layers.
My goal is to create a supportive and understanding environment where you feel heard and empowered. By addressing both the emotional and physical aspects of autoimmune diseases, I strive to help you lead fuller, more resilient lives.

For clients with Chronic Health Conditions, often we encourage brain retraining via Gupta or other programs as an adjunct, and/or bio/neurofeedback including SSP, which we can offer remotely. Our practice focuses more on the deeper care for what might have been the conditions prior to the chronic health condition setting in, or work from a remote CranioSacral model. Clients might also seek functional and/or integrative approach to easing and managing symptoms and flares. We could apply an intersectional lens to work through ableism trauma as well, as an example.
