Therapy offered by:
Ami Robertson
Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapist & Movement Facilitator
Chronic Illness & Persistent Pain Therapy
Chronic illness and persistent pain therapy for people living with autoimmune conditions, fibromyalgia, fatigue and ongoing pain, helping create more ease, capacity and a life less dictated by symptoms.
Who Its For
People living with chronic illness, persistent pain, fibromyalgia or autoimmune conditions; those experiencing fatigue, ongoing symptoms or the emotional and nervous system impact of long-term pain.
What To Expect
Living with chronic illness, persistent pain, autoimmune conditions or fatigue can change your relationship with your body. When symptoms fluctuate or your capacity changes from day to day, it can be exhausting to continually push through or feel at odds with what your body needs.
Ami brings together somatic therapy, movement based therapy and talking therapy, working gently with sensation, breath, movement, emotion and nervous system responses. Rather than asking you to override your body, sessions create space to listen to it with curiosity and build a more compassionate relationship with your symptoms, limits and changing capacity.
Informed by lived experience of chronic illness and disability, Ami understands that healing does not always mean being symptom free. The work is about building nervous system regulation, greater ease and capacity, and supporting you to live more fully within the realities of your body.
Sessions with Ami go beyond talking and insight alone. Their neurodivergent affirming, trauma informed approach brings together talking therapy, somatic therapy and movement based practices, creating space to explore what is happening not only in your thoughts, but within your body and nervous system too.
Rather than following a rigid therapeutic model, Ami works relationally and collaboratively, adapting sessions to your communication style, sensory needs and the way you experience and process the world. Together, you may explore emotions, body sensations, breath, movement and nervous system responses, alongside the experiences and patterns shaping your life.
This can be particularly supportive if you have tried more traditional or less relational forms of therapy, understand your patterns intellectually, but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected or unable to create lasting change.
The work moves at your pace. Over time, Ami supports you to develop greater nervous system regulation, self understanding and capacity for emotion, while building a deeper and more compassionate relationship with yourself and your body.
