I've worked with people in the aftermath of motor vehicle accidents which can upend a person's life in an instant. I draw on my experience with illness and blend this with compassion and knowledge of coping strategies. It can be hard to do it alone, let me help.

Chronic Pain
Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Adjusting to new limitations can be difficult. A change in health, whether sudden or gradual, can be disorienting and frustrating. There can be so much grief tied up in changes to our health. No longer having the ability to do the activities we enjoy and having to change our plans for the future are just two of the many ways grief can impact our ability to adjust to chronic pain or illness. I work with people who are experiencing chronic pain, disability, or illness and the caregivers who support them to continue to live meaningful, connected lives.

Chronic Pain
Arne Pedersen - Hypnotherapy Victoria
Hypnotherapist, RCCH
Living with chronic pain or long-term illness can be physically exhausting and emotionally overwhelming. Beyond the symptoms themselves, many people find their nervous system becomes stuck in a state of vigilance, tension, or struggle, making it difficult for the body to rest, regulate, and heal.
From a mindfulness-based perspective, pain is often understood as the body’s way of communicating that something needs attention or change. When signals from the body are ignored or pushed through over time, the nervous system may respond by amplifying those signals — not as punishment, but as an attempt to be heard and protected.
Thoughts, emotions, and perception also play an important role. Ongoing fear, resistance, pessimism, or self-judgment can be reflected in the body as tension and unease, much like waking from a bad dream with the body still holding fear. Over time, this lack of internal ease can interrupt the body’s natural flow and regulation, contributing to persistent pain.
Chronic pain also commonly goes hand-in-hand with disrupted or poor-quality sleep. When the body doesn’t have enough opportunity to rest deeply, its ability to repair, replenish, and heal is reduced, which can further reinforce pain and fatigue.
In our work together, the focus is on gently restoring a sense of safety, awareness, and ease within the body. Through mindfulness practices, breath awareness, and body-based attention, clients learn how to relate differently to physical sensations, reduce resistance, and support the nervous system in settling.
Hypnotherapy can further support this process by helping update subconscious protective patterns and creating felt experiences of calm and safety that also support more restorative rest. While this work does not replace medical care, many people find that as regulation improves, both pain and sleep begin to shift in more supportive ways.

Chronic Pain
Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect far more than your physical health. It can influence your emotions, relationships, sense of safety, and ability to participate in the life you want.
You may find yourself anticipating pain, worrying about your body, or avoiding activities because of fear of making things worse. Over time, life can become smaller as pain, fear, frustration, grief, and uncertainty begin to shape your choices.
EMDR therapy can be a valuable part of this work, particularly when pain or illness is connected with trauma, distressing medical experiences, injury, or heightened fear and emotional responses. As an EMDRIA-certified therapist, I can help you process these experiences and reduce the distress associated with them. EMDR does not eliminate physical pain or suggest that pain is “all in your head”—the focus is on changing your relationship with the experiences and responses surrounding it.
Together, we’ll also draw on ACT and mindfulness-based approaches to develop greater flexibility and self-compassion, reduce avoidance, and make room for the people, activities, and experiences that matter to you.
You may not be able to choose what your body is experiencing, but you can develop greater freedom in how you respond—and create more space for a meaningful life alongside it.
