Best for

This provider is best suited for adults experiencing the emotional and behavioural impact of long-term health conditions who are seeking specialist psychological support or targeted training for health professionals. Typical client profiles include people coping with chronic pain or chronic illness-related distress, and health services seeking bespoke training on behaviour change and self-management.

• Adults living with long-term conditions such as ME/CFS, Long Covid, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer and chronic pain
• Individuals experiencing low mood, anxiety or reduced energy related to chronic illness
• Healthcare teams seeking training in behaviour change and self-management support

Approach

The practice uses a range of evidence-based psychological models to support clients, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. They integrate behaviour-change frameworks such as the COM-B model to support practical self-management and adherence strategies.

Treatment typically involves an initial assessment to identify the impact of the health condition on mood, behaviour and daily functioning, followed by tailored interventions targeting both psychological symptoms and practical self-management. Sessions emphasise skills-building, pacing, values-based goal setting and relapse prevention.

For training clients and clinical teams, the practice delivers bespoke packages designed to translate behaviour-change theory into practical clinical skills and service-level improvements. Their training aims to improve patient adherence, clinician confidence and measurable outcomes in long-term condition management.
