Chronic Pain or Illness
Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
I am a late diagnosed therapist who has an ADHD diagnosis so I know first hand the challenges that disabled people face. I have found that disabled clients naturally gravitate towards me, it’s so lovely being able to have that immediate understanding of things that neurotypical people just don’t experience, saving the need to over explain and welcoming in supposed “weirdness”. This extends to disabilities outside of neurodiversity, as knowing what it’s like to navigate a world that is not catered to you is something that those without a disability don’t have the same insight into.
You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

Emma Dean
Hypnotherapist, MA Hons, DipCaH, PNLP
I'm Emma, an integrative transpersonal practitioner dedicated to guiding you on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Through a blend of hypnotherapy, breathwork, meditation, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and spiritual coaching, I create a compassionate safe space for you to connect with your own innate healing intelligence. Living with chronic pain or illness can be emotionally exhausting and isolating. I help clients address the emotional and energetic dimensions of their physical experience, using mind-body approaches to ease suffering and restore agency. We work together to shift from simply surviving to reconnecting with vitality, inner strength, and hope. Healing may not always mean curing—but it can mean deep transformation.

Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
Living with chronic pain or illness can indeed be a lonely and isolating experience. As time passes, you may find fewer people willing to listen to your struggles, leaving you feeling unseen and misunderstood. This isolation can compound the challenges you're already facing.
Chronic pain and illness can affect your life in many ways:
Feelings of loneliness and isolation
Difficulty maintaining relationships
Frustration when others don't understand your experience
Anxiety and depression related to your condition
Challenges in communicating your needs effectively
It's important to remember that your feelings are valid, and there are ways to cope and find support:
Seek empathetic listening: Having someone who truly listens without judgment can be incredibly healing1.
Join support groups: Connecting with others who share similar experiences can provide validation and practical advice3.
Communicate your needs: Learn to express what you need clearly to friends, family, and healthcare providers4.
Practice self-care: Engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation, even if they're small6.
Consider professional help: Therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), can help you develop coping strategies and improve your emotional outlook7.
Remember, it's okay to have difficult emotions about your condition. By working together, we can explore ways to empower you, helping you express your needs more effectively and find strategies to cope with the challenges of chronic pain or illness. My role is to provide that empathetic, non-judgmental ear you need, and to help you navigate this journey towards better emotional and physical well-being.
