Chronic illness and/or pain can be very stressful and can cause feelings of sadness, anxiety, frustration, grief and shame. These feelings are often not recognized and regulated effectively. I work from a person-centered lens, providing a safe and non-judgemental space for clients to explore these feelings and thoughts. Contact me today to book a free consultation.

Andrea Rowell
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
It can be very isolating to go through chronic pain or illness, and yet this is a time of life when we need healthy and supportive connection with others the most. The IFS (internal family systems) approach can be especially supportive for relief of chronic illness, autoimmune illness, and pain. I use the IFS approach because it's an incredibly non-pathologizing approach, and when you're "all out of spoons", that compassion is really needed.

Tracey Nguyen
Counsellor/Therapist, RN, MN
The psychology of chronic illness involves feeling helpless, victimized and powerless in our relationships. It involves people pleasing and being very dependent or living at the mercy of others. Healing chronic illness is centres around healing the control and power struggle in the relationships in childhood, specifically with a parent who had anger issues where you feared and lived your childhood tip toeing around their emotional tempers. This has perhaps translated into your adult life where you control others, get angry at others often, put others on a pedastol and feel powerless in some areas of your life. Healing your fears of feeling attacked and balancing the power in your relationships and releasing control are key to healing chronic illness.
