Chronic Health Counselling
Compassionate support for life with chronic illness, pain or fatigue
When you live with a chronic condition—especially as a woman or someone with a uterus—it can feel like your body is no longer your own.
Whether you're navigating endometriosis, chronic fatigue, autoimmune flare-ups, fibromyalgia, PCOS or persistent pain… this space is for you.
I offer warm, trauma-informed counselling that centres your experience. No rushing. No fixing. Just soft, steady support to come back home to yourself.
why you might come to this work:
-
You’re newly diagnosed and feeling overwhelmed or isolated
-
You’ve had years of medical gaslighting and feel disillusioned
-
You’re exhausted trying to “push through” but unsure how to stop
-
You crave a way to reconnect with your body that feels safe and nourishing
-
You want to find meaning or purpose—even on hard days
counselling for women's chronic health conditions
How I can support you:
Integrate your diagnosis — Let’s explore what it means to live intentionally with chronic illness
Make empowered choices — Get clear on treatments, providers and your boundaries in the healthcare system
Hold space for grief, anger & fear — Your emotions are valid; we move gently through what’s been held or ignored
Rebuild trust in your body — With somatic, intuitive, body-based practices that support self-awareness and nervous system regulation
Honour your cycles & capacity — No pressure to be “productive” or “positive”—we work with what’s true, not what’s expected
