Chronic Pain
Katia Erokhina
Counsellor/Therapist, PACFA Certified Practicing Counsellor, Master’s-qualified Gestalt Psychotherapist
I provide counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples living with chronic pain, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), hypermobility, and other long-term health conditions. Because I have personal experience with EDS, I understand the challenges that come with a new diagnosis, uncertainty, grief, and changes in what you can do. I help clients work through medical trauma, set boundaries, and express their needs. I also support people as they navigate how chronic illness affects their identity, intimacy, and relationships. My approach is relational, neuroaffirming, and trauma-informed. I focus on emotional and relationship wellbeing, rather than offering medical advice or treatment.

Chronic Pain
Irene Valis
Counsellor/Therapist, Gestalt Psychotherapist, PACFA Certified Counsellor, Life Coach
I experienced chronic fatigue at the beginning of motherhood which lasted for up to 6 years. After many consultations and trying various supplements, restrictive diets and mindset shifts, I felt like I wasn't making meaningful progress.
Over time, I came to understand the role my nervous system, stress and the way I was relating to my body were playing in my experience.
Through my own personal journey and professional training, I have supported many women navigating experiences of hip and back pain, headaches, migraines, sweating, insomnia, fatigue, brain fog, IBS and Long COVID.
If you have an open mind and want to develop greater agency in how you understand and respond to your experience, I would love to support you in this process of awareness, regulation and resourcing with the potential to support greater ease, mobility and wellbeing.
