Conventional treatments for chronic pain and fatigue syndromes are largely failing to deliver sustained relief. After my own recovery, in my professional role as a somatic psychotherapist I have had the honour of helping hundreds more people to tranform their pain. Whether you've had pain for three months, three years or three decades, the mindbody principles can help you recover.
Medicine has made some progress in the last ten years and generally recognises the role of the brain in chronic pain. But treatments too often focus on masking or managing the symptoms and not the real cause of the pain. A true Mind-Body intervention shares some aspects of, but is quite different from CBT.

I hope you find inspiration and resources here that are of use to you. I love doing this work because I have seen for myself, both in my own life and in the experiences of friends and clients, that with the right combination of effort and skill many of the common conditions which cause great suffering can be effectively treated.
If it's not already apparent to you I tend to use the terms somatic psychotherapy, body oriented psychotherapy and mind-body healing interchangeably. In the hands of a skilled practitioner, they should be one and the same thing - a process which helps the client to achieve deep and lasting improvement in whatever challenge they presented with.
In any given session a unique combination of talking, meditative awareness, visualisation and physical expression of feeling is used to cultivate transformation and deep wellbeing. Sessions are tailored to your individual needs, so each is itself unique and they go for 60-80 minutes. If you are specifically interested in chronic pain treatment you may wish to spend some or all of your session discussing the mind-body approach.
It is entirely normal to feel sometimes in life that something is not working. If you are feeling anxious, or fatigued, or unable to make relationships work the way you want to, or your body is aching and the doctor can't make it go away, or some other form of suffering, you are probably wondering if anything can be done to make it better.
