What is a Pain Condition?
It is understandable that many people may feel apprehensive or uncertain when advised to see a psychologist in relation to their pain condition. At HMP we recognise the profound impact that pain can have on an individual’s lifestyle, relationships, and overall functioning. By understanding the interaction between physical pain signals and the brain’s processing of those signals, this field aims to provide insights and strategies to help individuals cope with and manage their pain more effectively.
Our Expertise
Our team specialises in pain psychology, employing a range of evidence-based techniques to explore the neurophysiology of pain and its emotional implications. Techniques such as Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), mindfulness-based approaches, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) or trauma-informed therapy are used to create individualised treatment plans. We also collaborate with other professionals within our network to offer holistic support, ensuring comprehensive care tailored to each client’s needs.
