Chronic Pain
Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Living with chronic pain or illness fundamentally changes your relationship with your environment, a reality compounded by a medical system that frequently dismisses marginalised or complex identities. I offer a slow, gentle online space in Vancouver to process the complex emotional grief, nervous system exhaustion, and isolation that physical suffering brings. Together, we will use somatic tracking to listen to your body's messages with kindness, moving toward a collaborative and compassionate relationship with your physical self.

Chronic Pain
Angela Cowling
Registered Psychotherapist, Certified Grief Counselling Specialist, RP, BA, MA, MACP
Chronic illness and health anxiety are my specialty areas. I've helped people with chronic illnesses, autoimmune diseases, cancer, genetic disorders, chronic pain, and supported parents of seriously ill children... including the anxiety that comes with it all!
It's scary, frustrating, and annoying to deal with the symptoms, diagnosis, and daily life being ill. I can also help you with grief of the loss of your healthy self. I understand this all in a different way, because I also live with a chronic illness.
Together we can work on new ways to cope, manage uncertainty, and learn how to accept life with a chronic illness. We can work on creating life balance - your illness may be a big part of your life, but it does not need to define you.
I will provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore what you need. Let's get you feeling better!

Rachael Burnett
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
Living with chronic pain or illness often means navigating a body that feels unpredictable. This can work to deeply impact your confidence, your sense of capability, and how you view yourself. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to help you cultivate a sense of safety and support within your body, rather than feeling at war with it. Together, we can gently explore the heavy thoughts and complex emotions that chronic illness brings up, especially those that try to make you feel small, defined by your limits, or isolated. Amidst the challenges, we will honor your deep inner strength and resilience, working collaboratively to find ways to support your well-being. This work happens at your pace, holding space for both the hard days and the moments of grace.
