Referring a Client to The Woods Counselling

If you're a GP, specialist, physiotherapist, naturopath, or other health professional working with clients managing chronic pain, illness, or trauma — I'd be glad to connect. I work collaboratively with referring providers and am happy to share progress updates with consent.

I work with adults navigating:

  • Fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, long COVID, and POTS

  • Chronic back pain, nerve pain, and complex regional pain syndrome

  • Autoimmune conditions and medically unexplained symptoms

  • Health-related trauma and traumatic diagnosis

  • Burnout and nervous system dysregulation related to chronic illness

Who I work with:

Wooden desk with a modern white table lamp, a small glass vase with purple flowers, a gray laptop, a closed beige notebook, and a pen, set against a beige wall. A perfect spot for online counselling.

Therapeutic approaches:

Sessions draw from Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and somatic approaches. And teach pacing and symptom management through psychoeducation. Treatment is tailored to each client's capacity and goals.
