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
Claire de la Varre
Therapist, PhD, HGDipP
When you have chronic pain or illness, you have to deal with the pain/illness itself as well as the range of negative emotions associated with having a chronic condition. The good news is that hypnotherapy and other mind-body techniques are effective at managing chronic pain, reducing stress, so you can rebuild your coping skills.

Exeter is Devon's cathedral city and county town, home to the University of Exeter—a Russell Group institution with a strong academic reputation—and one of the south-west's most economically vibrant cities, with growing demand for mental health services driven by a rapidly increasing population and a student community with significant wellbeing needs. NHS mental health services are provided through Devon Partnership NHS Trust, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves both the university community and the broader Exeter population. The city's housing market has become one of the most expensive in the south-west, creating financial stress for young professionals and key workers who want to live in a genuinely desirable city. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, anxiety related to housing and financial pressures, life transitions, and the identity and career challenges of a city that attracts young graduates who stay on after completing their degrees.
