Psychological support for chronic pain

Key information you should know

  • Chronic pain has a significant psychological component — emotional and physical pain share the same neural pathways.
  • Psychological intervention (especially ACT and CBT for pain) reduces suffering and improves function, alongside medical treatment.
  • We work in collaboration with your GP, specialists, and physio team.

Signs you might benefit from chronic pain support

  • Pain persisting beyond normal healing time (typically 3+ months)
  • Pain that affects your ability to work, socialise, or do activities you value
  • Depression or anxiety as a result of living with persistent pain
  • Sleep disruption due to pain
  • Catastrophising about pain — expecting the worst and feeling out of control
  • Social withdrawal or isolation because of pain

How therapy can help with chronic pain

Chronic pain affects mood, sleep, activity, and identity. The link between physical sensation and psychological distress is well established, and both deserve attention.

Psychological approaches such as pain-focused CBT and acceptance-based strategies can improve quality of life and function even when pain does not disappear. We coordinate with your medical team where helpful.
