Fibromyalgia (FMS)
Fibromyalgia is a complex and often misunderstood condition that causes widespread pain, deep fatigue, cognitive difficulties (commonly called ‘fibro fog’), and heightened sensitivity to touch, temperature, and stress, often making daily life feel unpredictable and overwhelming.
My goal is to support you in finding greater stability and ease in your daily life, whether that means returning to work or study, reconnecting with the people you care about, or simply managing each day with more confidence and less pain.
I take a step-by-step, person-centred approach that helps you gradually build resilience and capacity, without flaring up your symptoms.
I understand that living with fibromyalgia isn’t a straightforward path. That’s why I focus on long-term tools and strategies — helping you tune into your body’s signals, recognise your limits, and navigate both progress and setbacks with more clarity and self-trust.
Together, we’ll explore pacing, symptom tracking, nervous system regulation, and evidence-based tools to help you better manage pain, fatigue, and overwhelm - all in a way that respects your lived experience and unique needs.

What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic, invisible condition that causes widespread pain, fatigue, brain fog, sleep disturbances, and a heightened sensitivity to touch, temperature, and stress. The pain can move around the body and vary in intensity day-to-day, making even simple tasks like getting dressed, concentrating at work, or socialising feel overwhelming. It’s not just “being sore”, it’s a complex disorder involving the nervous system, where the body’s pain signals are inappropriately, and disproportionately amplified. Many people with fibromyalgia also experience digestive issues, sensory overload, or coexisting conditions like anxiety, depression, or migraines. Because symptoms are often invisible and fluctuate, fibromyalgia is frequently misunderstood or dismissed. If someone you care about lives with fibro, recognising their experience and offering compassion can make a genuine difference.
