Chronic Pain or Illness
Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns), Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
Due to my background in nursing and mental health, I have a good understanding of various diagnoses and how they impact the person and the potential impacts for those around them required to support them. This makes it easier for you to not feel you need to provide detailed explanation the diagnosis, rather focusing on what you actually wish to discuss to use your session time in a way that fits best for you. If I have any question about the diagnosis etc, I will only ask specifically regarding that missing piece of information to assist my understanding so I can support you best.
I am able to utilise specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of many health issues including chronic pain, which for many clients can be eliminated completely.
My aim is to then assist you with your life difficulties to restore balance, happiness and inner peace with various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

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.
