Counselling Support

Chronic Illness & Disability

Support for the emotional weight of living with chronic fatigue, ME, or disability.

Living Alongside a Long-Term Condition

Living with chronic fatigue syndrome/ME, a disability, or another long-term health condition brings challenges that go well beyond the physical. Grief for the life you expected, frustration with a body that doesn't cooperate, and the exhaustion of constantly explaining or justifying your experience to others can all take a heavy emotional toll.

What Might Bring You Here

  • Grief or anger about a changed body or changed life
  • Low mood or anxiety connected to chronic illness or disability
  • Exhaustion from managing symptoms, appointments, or disbelief from others
  • Feeling reduced to your diagnosis rather than seen as a whole person
  • Isolation, or difficulty maintaining relationships and work
  • Adjusting to a new or worsening diagnosis

How We Work Together

You are not "too much," and your experience does not need to be minimised or explained away here. We create space to process grief, frustration, and identity change at your pace, working with what your body and circumstances actually allow—not an idealised version of therapy that doesn't fit your reality.

01 Seen as a Whole Person

More Than a Diagnosis

Whatever your condition, you are not defined by it. This is a space to be met as a whole person—with hopes, frustrations, humour, and complexity—rather than reduced to a set of symptoms.

A gentle truth The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.

— Carl Rogers
