Our Story
In the realm of chronic pain management, our journey began with a simple yet profound question: Who can provide comprehensive care that addresses both the physical and psychological dimensions of pain? The answer emerged through a collective passion and expertise embodied by our team.
Led by clinicians specialized in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for chronic pain, we embarked on a mission to redefine pain management. Our Clinical Director brings forth a wealth of experience in psychological therapies and case management, nurturing a culture of excellence and compassion within our practice. Guiding our endeavors is the invaluable wisdom of Mark Grant (MA), the pioneering mind behind the EMDR for Chronic Pain protocol, who continues to advise and inspire us.
Based in the UK, our Advanced Practice Supervisor boasts two decades of experience in psychological therapy and supervision, ensuring that our interventions adhere to the highest standards of efficacy and ethics. Additionally, our Clinical Lead, well-versed in clinical operational processes and safeguards, provides invaluable insights to optimize our clinical workflows.
At the heart of our ethos lies a commitment to clinical quality assurance. We take pride in delivering interventions and reports that not only meet but exceed expectations, ensuring the holistic well-being of our clients.
