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.

I'm Secretary of a UK & Ireland expert group on Long-term physical health conditions, non-epileptic seizures, Functional Neurological Disorders and medically unexplained symptoms, with my professional body the BABCP.

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.

Chronic Pain
Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults living with chronic pain or long-term health conditions and the ways these experiences can shape identity, mood, relationships, and daily life. Chronic pain often brings layers of loss, frustration, and adaptation, alongside the ongoing effort of managing physical symptoms.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore the emotional and psychological impact of chronic illness without reducing it to mindset or positivity. The focus is on understanding how pain is lived with, responded to, and organised around internally, rather than trying to eliminate it. Sessions are shaped around energy levels and may involve conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both.
