If you have been told nothing
more can be done — think again
Chronic pain is one of the most debilitating experiences a person can live with. When pain persists long after an injury has healed, when scans show nothing wrong, when medication barely touches it — there may be another explanation.

Pain science has advanced significantly in recent decades. We now understand that chronic pain is not simply a signal from damaged tissue — it is a learned response produced by the brain and nervous system. And like any learned response, it can be unlearned.
This is not "all in your head" in a dismissive sense — it is a genuine neurological phenomenon. The pain is entirely real. But its source may be the nervous system's learned pattern, not active tissue damage.
Factors known to maintain chronic pain include:
- Unresolved stress, anxiety or emotional overwhelm
- Trauma held in the body
- The brain's learned association between certain movements or situations and pain
- Hypervigilance to physical sensations — the nervous system constantly scanning for threat
- The emotional weight of living with pain — frustration, fear, grief, hopelessness
Conditions pain release therapy may help with
Pain Release Therapy is most relevant where pain is chronic, persistent, and where medical investigation has not identified a clear ongoing physical cause. It is not a substitute for medical assessment and care.
- Chronic back, neck or joint pain with no clear structural cause
- Fibromyalgia
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
- Medically unexplained symptoms (MUS)
- Chronic headaches or migraines
- Pain that began following a traumatic event
- Pain connected to emotional stress or significant life events
Important: I always recommend that clients have received a full medical assessment before pursuing Pain Release Therapy.
The approach
How pain release therapy works
My approach uses direct unconscious communication — a conversational technique that works with the subconscious mind and the body's own intelligence to identify and release pain that is no longer serving a protective function.
Deep-state hypnotherapy supports this process — reducing the anxiety and hypervigilance that amplify chronic pain, and helping the subconscious mind update its relationship with the body's sensations.
Where pain has a traumatic origin — an accident, a procedure, a period of significant stress — IEMT and the BLAST Technique can help process the emotional component of the experience, which often contributes to the persistence of the pain signal.

How many sessions will I need?
Results vary considerably. Some clients experience significant relief very quickly. For others, particularly where pain has been present for many years or is connected to complex trauma, more sessions may be needed.

Your questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Does this mean my pain is not real?
Absolutely not. Chronic pain is entirely real — a genuine experience produced by the nervous system. The fact that it may be maintained by learned patterns rather than ongoing tissue damage does not make it less real or less deserving of treatment.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No referral is needed. However, I do ask that clients have had a medical assessment before pursuing this work, to rule out conditions requiring medical treatment.
How is this different from pain management?
Pain management aims to help people cope with ongoing pain. Pain Release Therapy aims to address and resolve the pain itself — working with the mechanism that is generating it.
Can this work online?
Yes. All sessions are available via video call and are equally effective online. Many clients who are limited by their pain find online sessions much more accessible.
