These conditions take active, busy people like you, who take pride in being independent and reliable. They leave you exhausted, brain fogged, in pain, and maybe even completely dependent on others for your income and basic daily care.  Add to this a wide range of apparently unconnected symptoms –  IBS, numbness and tingling, migraines, extreme sensitivity, and many others – and it’s a confusing, devastating, and often shame inducing experience.

I know, because I have been there.

…and you can find out more about my journey from being bed-bound to climbing the Campsie Fells here.

You will probably have been told by your doctors that the causes of your condition are poorly understood and there is no cure. After the initial relief of diagnosis, you have been left to ‘manage’ your symptoms with little or no support and no hope.  Your hope may even have been deliberately squashed in a misguided attempt to help you ‘adjust’ to your new identity as a ‘sufferer’.

Take heart, recovery is absolutely possible and many people, like me, have achieved full recovery.

While it is true that the medical model cannot provide either explanations for your symptoms or a cure, that does not mean that there is no hope of healing and recovery.

Medicine sees you as a collection of bodily systems and symptoms and attempts to diagnose and treat those symptoms separately, with little interest in their underlying causes. In contrast, the bio-psycho-social approach to health that I use takes in all aspects of you as a whole person. We will explore every aspect, from your hormones and mitochondrial energy metabolism to your emotional health, relationships, beliefs, values and drivers. Together we will identify all the deep root causes of your symptoms and I will support you to make the changes that will allow you to heal from within.
