Anna Nolan Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Counselling (UQ), ACA Registered Member, Cancer Counselling Professionals Clinical Member.
Chronic pain and illness can reshape your days, your energy, your relationships, and sometimes your sense of who you are. You deserve support that takes both the physical reality and the emotional weight seriously. I offer clients compassionate listening with practical, evidence-based techniques to help you find steadiness in the midst of uncertainty. We'll explore how pain and illness have affected your life, develop tools for navigating flares, fatigue, and difficult emotions, and gently rebuild a sense of self and meaning that isn't defined by what your body is doing.

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.
