Chronic Illness, Fatigue and Pain Support
Does it feel like fatigue and pain have stolen your life away?
Whether you’re navigating fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, long COVID, MS, IBS, cancer recovery or another long‑term condition, I know that getting through each day is a challenge. You're constantly battling and feel exhausted. It's hard to stay hopeful when nothing seems to work.
I've helped multiple people through my accessible and practical step-by step approach, offering gentle yet effectice pain and fatigue support in Leeds and online.
This is for you if you’ve ever thought…
- “I am so tired of being tired. Nobody sees or understands how much a struggle this is.”
- “Pain controls everything I do, or can’t do.”
- “I feel guilty when I rest for too long or cancel plans.”
- “I wish I could think clearly and function normally.”
- "Not another flare-up or crash! I don't know if I'll recover from it."
- "I'd like to feel in control and be myself again."
How Sophrology Supports Pain and Fatigue
Sophrology is a mind-body practice combining breathing, gentle movement, relaxation and visualisation. It’s used across Europe to support people with long-term health conditions, and is particularly helpful for:
- Chronic fatigue support: helping you manage and restore your energy as well as reduce post-exertion crashes
- Pain relief techniques: working with your nervous system to lower pain perception and physical tension
- Emotional regulation: to overcome feelings of fear, uncertainty, frustration and hopelessness
You don’t need to be “fixed.” You need space to breathe, rest and rebuild at your own pace.
Evidence-Based Support
Sophrology isn’t just gentle; it’s also evidence-informed. In fact, an intervention I did contributed to a published study showing the effectiveness of Sophrology in supporting pain management. Read the abstract here >>
Why Choose Private Pain and Fatigue Support?
Have you ever felt dismissed or unsupported elsewhere?
Charities and clinics can be helpful, but they’re often overwhelmed, generalised, or focused on medication alone.
Working privately means:
- You'll have a space where you feel heard and understood
- You'll benefit from tailored support, going at your pace
- You'll be able to actually use the tools between sessions
- Your overall wellbeing - physical, mental and emotional - will be supported

Managing energy when you're living with chronic fatigue is a full‑time job. I'll help you pace yourself, regulate your nervous system, and build restorative micro‑rests into your day so that you gain more capacity and can enjoy life again.
You’ll learn how to:
- Recognise early signs of fatigue and respond more gently
- Shift out of survival mode with targeted techniques
