People sometimes ask for help with Chronic Fatigue, M. E, Irritbale Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and insomnia and similar problems, at my practice just outside of Battle, East Sussex. I have previously used Cognitive Therapy (also known as CBT) and Positive Psychology – see below – to help people to manage these problems but have found that the results either do not last and/or have been difficult to maintain. The underlying issues contributing to these sorts of problems tend to be long-standing and complex and are often part of a constellation of other issues such as anxiety / stress problems. However, it is possible for people to benefit from longer term therapy.

Note: please see the bottom of the page for information on Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis as this is often misdiagnosed as CFS / M.E.

A significant number of problems will respond well to Psychotherapy or a course of Hypnoanalysis. I will often use Lifespan Integration to help these clients. Please follow the links to learn more.

Therapy can help with the following…
  • CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome)
  • Chronic pain
  • Cognitive problems
  • Insomnia/Sleep problems
  • IBS/Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Lack of motivation
  • ME (Myalgic Encepalomyelitis)
  • PVFS (post viral fatigue syndrome)
  • Tourette’s syndrome
  • Trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling)
Beliefs work

I previously used beliefs work to help these problems but found the results unreliable, hence the change of therapy approach I now use. I  trained in limiting belief systems several years ago and how to help people to change them. The training included all related issues, such as unhelpful thinking patterns, locus of control, and positive psychology to name just a few. The course was originally known as Changing Limiting Beliefs and then was re-named The Thrive Programme®. I trained in these courses between the years of 2008 and 2014, although I currently do not hold the thrive consultant licence. I opted out of a new licencing arrangement in February 2015. While it is the case that deeply held / implicit limiting belief systems are underpinning many problems, I have found that cognitive work hasn’t been what my clients need for permanent, effortless changes to their issues.

* Important note if you are suffering from ME or CFS

It is a little known fact that Coeliac Disease and/or Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is commonly misdiagnosed as ME, CFS and possibly PVFS because their symptoms are very similar to ME and CFS. Adopting a gluten-free diet, reducing stress, and taking any necessary supplements can help or even heal both conditions. Even if you cannot obtain a specific diagnosis of Coeliac Disease (as it is still not a ‘popular’ diagnosis amongst conventional doctors) it may well be worth you considering a gluten-free diet for several weeks to see if you experience any change in your symptoms.

Of course, if you feel that you are stressed, for whatever reason, then a course of therapy will teach you how to manage this more effectively, or indeed resolve the causes. Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is an autoimmune problem diagnosed via thyroid antibody blood tests and other factors. It may also helped by a gluten free diet but consult with your GP for diagnosis. There is a strong link between iodine deficiency and a wide range of health problems, including CFS/ME.

‘The Iodine Crisis’ and ‘Iodine:Why You Need It’ are useful starting points to educate yourself. Always work with an iodine-literate doctor/practitioner before supplementing iodine.
