Online Therapy for Chronic Illness in the UK
Living with a chronic illness can be exhausting — physically, mentally, and emotionally. I offer online therapy across the UK for people with long-term health conditions, including autoimmune diseases. With lived experience of multiple chronic illnesses and a person-centred approach, I provide a safe, compassionate space where you don’t have to explain or minimise your pain.
Emotional Support for Life with Chronic Illness
If you’re living with conditions like ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, lupus, Crohn’s, rheumatoid arthritis, or another autoimmune or chronic illness, you’ve likely faced more than just physical symptoms.
You might also be dealing with:
- Feeling misunderstood or dismissed by healthcare professionals
- Ongoing anxiety, low mood, or medical trauma
- Uncertainty about the future and loss of identity
- Fatigue, pain, and mental overload
- Strained relationships or social withdrawal
Therapy can help you navigate all of this — with specialist emotional support from someone who understands
Lived Experience, Real Understanding
I live with several autoimmune conditions myself. This means I truly understand the emotional toll of chronic illness — the daily decisions, the constant adjustments, and the invisible effort of simply getting through the day.
In our sessions, there’s no need to justify or explain your reality. You’ll be met with empathy, not disbelief — and supported in finding your own way forward.
Why Person-Centred Therapy?
My work is grounded in Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) — a humanistic approach that places you at the centre of your healing process.
This means:
- You are in control of what we explore
- You won’t be judged, rushed, or “fixed”
- You’ll be met with compassion, acceptance, and empathy
- The therapeutic relationship is built on trust, authenticity, and real understanding
For people with chronic illness — who are often not listened to or believed — this approach can be especially powerful.
Online Therapy That Works Around You
Living with chronic illness often means fluctuating energy levels and unpredictable symptoms. That’s why I offer flexible online therapy sessions, accessible from anywhere in the UK.
Online therapy means you can:
- Access support even on difficult days
- Avoid the fatigue and planning involved in travel
- Attend sessions from a comfortable, familiar environment
- Choose times that suit your energy and routine
Therapy Can Help You To:
- Process difficult emotions like fear, grief, or anger

- Manage anxiety, overwhelm, and stress
- Cope with uncertainty and medical gaslighting
- Strengthen your sense of identity beyond your condition
- Feel more empowered in your daily life
