Living Well Clinic
Relief & Recovery from Chronic Pain
Chronic Pain Therapist
Living with pain is distressing and debilitating; it can leave you feeling lonely and isolated, because no one really understands what you’re going through.
Therapy is a safe space where you can share your true thoughts and feelings, without worry or judgement. It provides support and practical coping techniques that can make a positive difference to your everyday.
As a Chronic Pain Therapist and certified Pain Reprocessing Therapy Practitioner, I use a multi-component, holistic approach which is backed by research and is evidence-based. By combining Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), clinical hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT®), and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) with relaxation and mindfulness, I can help you relieve pain, manage symptoms and rediscover daily wellbeing for your body and mind.
Join your session from the comfort of your own home with Zoom therapy on a 1-to-1 basis, at a time to suit you. Please get in touch for a free, relaxed chat to see how I could help.
Chronic Pain Therapist
After working in education for over 20 years, I decided to retrain in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy. I wanted to help people feel better and live more and decided to specialise in relief and recovery for persistent pain by becoming a certified Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) Practitioner.
I combine private practice with online workshops and webinars for charities and organisations.

A Holistic Approach to Chronic Pain Management
Pain Reprocessing Therapy trains your brain to respond differently to pain, while CBT is used to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Relaxation training and hypnosis are used to calm the nervous system—helping you to de-stress, manage pain and achieve even deeper levels of rest and rejuvenation. Depending on your needs and preferences, your treatment may include some, or all, of the following therapies:.
RELIEVE
Pain Reprocessing Therapy
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is an innovative, evidence-based treatment for chronic pain which is designed to reduce or, in some cases, even eliminate chronic pain or symptoms by retraining the brain and body to respond differently to pain.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is addresses the psychological and emotional aspects of persistent pain helping you cope with difficult thoughts and feelings, leading to impactful changes in how you think, feel and behave in the face of chronic symptoms.

Clinical Hypnotherapy
Clinical Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis facilitate positive change, deep relaxation and are extremely effective for pain relief. Research shows that adding hypnosis to CBT improves outcomes compared to CBT on its own (Ramondo et al, 2021).
ACT
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy provides a pathway to create and lead a rich, meaningful life, based on your values and what matters to you most. It includes lots of helpful explanations and techniques for dealing with difficult thoughts, feeling and emotions.
ReST
Relaxation Training
Because high stress levels make pain worse, learning to relax is one of the most important skills to learn. Relaxation helps calm our body’s stress response, activating the ‘rest and digest’ mode which soothes the physical body promoting healing and recovery.
Recouperate
Mindfulness and Meditation
Mindfulness and even simple meditation practices can help manage your mood, reduce stress and worries, offering an easy way to find a moment of calm and relief for mind and body. I’ll help you explore techniques that fit your daily routine and feel right for you.
