01 · What to expect
Our approach.
Chronic pain is rarely just mechanical. Our psychology service works alongside physio and medicine to address the mind-body components — catastrophising, fear of movement, sleep, mood — that keep pain switched on after tissues have healed.

06 · FAQ
Pain Psychology, answered.
Is this like seeing a therapist?
Similar training, but focused on pain, injury and performance. Sessions are structured and time-limited.
Is it confidential from my physio?
Yes. We only share notes with your care team if you give explicit consent — it often helps, but it is your call.
