Chronic Illness, Chronic Pain and Physical Disability

Impacts on Mental Health

Physical Disability, chronic illness and chronic pain can have a profound impact on mental health, often leading to increased stress, anxiety, depression, and feelings of hopelessness. The constant physical discomfort and limitations can affect self-esteem, disrupt daily routines, and lead to social isolation, further exacerbating emotional distress.

Psychotherapy for individuals facing physical disabilities, chronic illness, and chronic pain can help address a range of emotional and psychological challenges. These may include anxiety about the future, concerns about identity, grief, anger, isolation, trauma, PTSD, changes in relationships, and unhelpful coping strategies as you adjust to a new reality. Therapy provides a space to explore these difficulties, build resilience, and develop healthier ways to navigate this journey.
