Chronic Illnesses

I provide counselling for individuals navigating complex, multi-system and invisible health conditions.

A formal diagnosis is not required. You may be in the early stages of noticing that something is not right, undergoing investigations, newly diagnosed, or living with chronic illness for many years. Counselling can be helpful at any stage.

​

Examples of chronic and complex health conditions include:
