Living well is still possible, even while the pain is real.

Pain affects much more than the part of the body that hurts. It can change how you sleep, move, work, plan your day and spend time with the people you love. When a flare-up can undo your plans without warning, it's understandable to feel frustrated, worried or worn down.

Psychological support doesn't mean the pain is imagined. Pain is real. Therapy offers ways to work with its impact while you continue to receive the medical care you need.

What we can work on together

• The cycle of pain, stress, disrupted sleep and changes in activity
• Pacing, and responding to flare-ups without losing weeks of progress
• Loosening the exhausting struggle with pain-related thoughts
• Reconnecting with the activities and relationships that give life meaning
• Grief about what's changed, fears about the future, or the pressure of an injury claim and return-to-work process

Luke has experience in chronic pain services and draws on CBT, ACT and mindfulness-based strategies. Treatment is shaped around your goals — whether that's daily function, relationships, work, or simply more room in your life for something other than pain.

You don't have to wait until everything is settled

It's possible to start working on quality of life while medical questions are still being answered. We can begin with the part of the situation that feels most difficult right now.
