Counselling for Chronic Pain & Illness

Counselling and talking therapies can help with a number of aspects of chronic pain, whether you know the cause of your pain or not.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, and CBT for pain have been shown to help to:

Manage Stress & Anxiety: Therapy can help you develop tools to cope with stress, anxiety, and depression that often accompany chronic pain or illness.
Reduce Pain Perception: Techniques such as CBT can help you change the way you think and feel about pain, potentially leading to a reduction in its intensity.
Improve Daily Functioning: Learn strategies to manage fatigue, improve sleep, and overcome challenges with mobility.
Accept Your Condition: Therapy can teach you acceptance skills to help you live a fulfilling life despite your condition.

Chronic Pain & Illness Counselling Approaches

At York Therapy Clinic, our team of compassionate counsellors in York are experienced in offering psychological support for those with chronic pain & illness.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify negative thought patterns that contribute to pain and teaches you to replace them with more helpful ones.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting your pain without judgment and living a meaningful life despite limitations.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) helps to develop self-compassion, a powerful tool for managing difficult emotions associated with chronic pain or illness.

Additionally, our therapists may also utilise other approaches to enhance your well-being, such as relaxation and mindfulness to help reduce tension and anxiety associated with pain.

We offer both face-to-face and online chronic pain counselling via Zoom, Skype, Facetime & WhatsApp Video for those who cannot make it to the clinic, or who prefer the convenience of online therapy.
