Finding Joy Again: Holistic Support for Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain
Are you living with chronic pain, fatigue, or fibromyalgia? Does it feel like your world has gotten smaller, and even simple daily tasks feel overwhelming?
You are not alone—and it doesn’t have to stay this way.
At Finding Joy Psychological Services, we offer holistic support for chronic pain—combining Occupational Therapy and psychological care to help you manage your symptoms and reconnect with life.
Together, we support your mind and body so you can take small, meaningful steps towards balance, peace, and joy.
Chronic conditions like fibromyalgia affect more than just your body. They can impact how you think, feel, and engage with the world around you.
That’s why our approach at Finding Joy brings together:
Occupational Therapy (OT)
We help you regain independence in your daily life, teaching practical tools and pacing techniques to manage pain and fatigue.
Psychological Support
We create a safe space to process emotions, reduce stress, and reframe unhelpful thoughts that keep you stuck.
This mind-body approach supports the whole person—not just the symptoms.
Here’s how one client describes their transformation:
“I have experienced chronic pain since a back injury in 1985. In addition I have Fibromyalgia (diagnosed 2000) and Parkinson’s Disease (diagnosed 2022). The sum total was that I had become seriously physically and mentally inactive.
So Christina suggested I consider some sessions with her colleague Krushi, who specialises in working with people having chronic conditions.
Again, the name Finding Joy was obviously totally appropriate. I began to find life much more interesting. I became proactive in both my physiotherapy and sharing domestic tasks with Ali. My usual mantra of ‘I can’t do this, because I’m ill’ became ‘I’ll give it a go’. Krushi’s own concentration on pacing was very helpful in this. Ali said, ‘You’ve got your Mojo back.’”
Our goal is to help you manage symptoms, build resilience, and reconnect with the things that matter to you.
Learn how to balance activity and rest to avoid “boom and bust” cycles.
Create routines that reduce fatigue and support healing.
Gentle therapeutic exercises and sensory techniques to ease pain.
Mindfulness and vagus nerve stimulation to reduce stress and support your body’s natural rhythms.
Understand how chronic pain affects mood and thoughts.
Develop tools to manage anxiety, depression, and “fibro fog.”
This holistic approach is designed to meet you where you are—so you can take small, sustainable steps forward.
Chronic pain can make life feel smaller. But with the right support, you can:
You don’t have to do this alone.
