An ironic truth about pain is that it increases intensity when one is experiencing increased stress in life. Therefore, we provide support that provides distinct yet integrated approaches recognizing and addressing both levels of concern:
- Concrete and immediate pain management based in hypnotherapy, breath, relaxation, visualization, and mindfulness techniques
- Effective counselling to increase mental and emotional health.

How can counselling help someone experiencing chronic pain?
Counselling can help someone experiencing chronic pain by providing them with an outlet for expressing their emotions, such as frustration, anger, and sadness.
It can also provide an opportunity to explore and discuss coping strategies, such as relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as strategies for managing stress, which can be a major contributor to chronic pain.
Counseling can also help the individual to set realistic goals and develop self–compassion and resilience.
The goal of counselling is to empower the individual to better manage their chronic pain and improve their quality of life.
