Find a Therapist for Chronic Illness

Living with a long-term health condition or chronic pain takes a psychological toll that is often underestimated. Therapy can help you adjust to diagnosis, manage the emotional impact of pain, and live as fully as possible alongside your condition.

What Chronic Illness can help with

  • Adjustment to diagnosis
  • Depression and anxiety alongside illness
  • Chronic pain and fibromyalgia
  • Fatigue conditions (ME/CFS, Long COVID)
  • Loss of identity and roles
  • Grief for the life you had
  • Medical trauma

What to expect

Therapists who specialise in health conditions understand the complex interplay between physical and mental wellbeing. Approaches may include ACT (particularly effective with chronic pain), CBT, or compassion-focused therapy.
