Physical Health Conditions
Living Well with Chronic Illness
Supporting people with:
- Chronic pain conditions
- Autoimmune conditions
- Long-term health challenges
- Cancer journey
Chronic illness affects far more than physical health - it impacts identity, relationships, and life goals.
Strengths through adversity:
Living with chronic illness develops remarkable resilience, clarity about priorities, and deep appreciation for good moments. We'll acknowledge and build upon these strengths.
How therapy can help:
Living with chronic illness brings different challenges at different times. We might focus on processing diagnosis grief, developing coping strategies for bad days, or exploring identity beyond illness - led by what you need. Some sessions might be about practical symptom management, others about existential questions illness raises. Your energy levels and symptoms guide our work. There's no pressure to be positive or accepting before you're ready.
Quality of life focus:
You'll develop your own ways of living meaningfully within limitations and find what quality of life means for you. Life becomes more than illness management, even when illness remains present.
