About Gwen
Chronic Pain Specialist | Caithness, Scottish Highlands
My Story
I know what it's like to live with pain that doesn't show up on a scan. Pain that makes people question you, and that makes you question yourself. My journey into chronic pain work began not in a textbook, but in lived experience — and it's what drives everything I do.
From my home in the far north of Scotland, in the wild and beautiful county of Caithness, I work online with people across the UK who are exhausted, frustrated, and ready for something different. I combine my years of clinical experience, specialist mind-body therapies, and the insights of the Pain Free You approach to help you build a new relationship with your pain.
I believe that understanding your pain is the first step to changing how it affects your life. Not curing it — understanding it. And with that understanding comes real, lasting change.
"Understanding your pain is the first step to changing how it affects your life."

What I Believe
Pain is real.
I will never question your pain. Your experience is valid, full stop.
You are more than your diagnosis.
Chronic pain does not define you. We work toward a fuller life.
Change is possible.
Not necessarily cure — but real, meaningful improvement in how you live.
You deserve to be heard.
Many people with chronic pain feel dismissed. Here, you won't be.
