What is Neuroplastic Pain

Neuroplastic pain occurs when your nervous system continues to signal danger even after the original injury or trigger has healed. The brain has ‘learned’ to interpret normal sensations as threatening.

This type of paion is real but is not cuased by ogoing tissue damage. Instead, it’s maintained by patterns in the brain. That means it can be unlearned. 

Through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, hypnotherapy and mind-body strategies often included in pain reprocessing – for example, somatic tracking and graded exposure – I help the nervous system re-learn safety, reduce pain, and restore confidence in movement.

How Therapy Helps

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • Identify and challenge unhelpful pain thoughts.
  • Reduce fear-based avoidance behaviours.
  • Build practical coping strategies for daily life.

Hypnotherapy

  • Guided relaxation and imagery to calm the nervous system.
  • Helps reduce intensity and emotional impact of pain.
  • Improve sleep and wellbeing

Mind-Body Approaches

  • Somatic tracking – noticing body sensations without fear
  • Graded exposure – gently reintroduce avoided movements
  • Cognitive reframing – shift unhelpful beliefs about pain.

These practical tools help your etrain your brain, feel safer in your body, and regain confidence in daily life.

Research continues to highlight the role of the mind-body connection in pain. See the British Medical Journal for an overview.

Is This Approach Right For You?

These therapy is especially helpful if you experience:

  • Persistent or neuroplastic pain such as migraine, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, long covid, back pain or limb pain 
  • Pain without a clear ongoing injury
  • Pain after surgery or injury that feels disproportionate
  • Tension headaches or migraines linked to nervous system sensitisation
  • Symptoms like insomnia, anxiety, brain fog or fatigue that accompany pain. Discover how I support insomnia and anxiety

Even if other treatments haven’t worked, retraining your nervous system can reduce pain and restore confidence in movement.

Evidenced Based & Holistic Support

The strategies I use are grounded in research from CBT, hypnotherapy, and neuroscience-based approaches for pain. These methods are designed to retrain the nervous system, calm the brain’s danger signals, and build long-term confidence.

This works by

  • Calming the brain’s danger signals
  • Building resilience and confidence
  • Supporting daily wellbeing with mindfulness and relaxation
  • Re-training the nervous system to interpret sensations as safe
  • Restoring trust in movement through somatic tracking and graded exposure
  • Improving sleep and easing tension with guided relaxation and self-hypnosis

    See the latest NICE guidance on chronic pain highlighting the importance of non-drug approaches. The British Pain Society also provides useful resources.

    Recovery in Action

    Neuroplasticity is the property of the brain that enables it to change its own structure and functioning in response to activity and mental experience.

    Norman Doidge

    The changes in the brain that occur due to chronic pain are due to the plasticity of the neural system … This underlying plasticity … suggests that these changes may be responsive to targeted treatment.

    Physio‑Pedia

    If we experience injury or illness that continuously saturates our brain with pain … those pathways will strengthen. But the brain can be retrained — practice makes change over time.
