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
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!

Chronic Pain
James Darby
Registered Psychotherapist, Postgraduate Diploma Core Process Psychotherapy, DCHyp, ABSCH, MBA
I employ mindfulness based approaches to help people cultivate inquisitiveness around their chronic pain or illness, encouraging them to move towards the difficulties they face rather than wrestle with them, or wish for the day that they were not there. These practices are resourcing and give clients capacity to see their condition more clearly, so that it becomes more workable, significantly reducing the anxiety that comes with such profound life challenges.

Leicester is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United Kingdom, with a majority non-white population and large South Asian, East African Asian, and Caribbean communities that generate significant demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists. The city has a strong Hindu and Muslim religious community, and therapists who can navigate the intersection of faith, family expectations, and mental health — particularly around intergenerational conflict and identity — are especially valued. Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving the university corridor and leafy residential suburbs. The University of Leicester and De Montfort University provide clinical training programs that feed into the local therapy ecosystem.
