“Regain Hope. Take Back Control. Be You Again.”
Are you fed up with injury or pain? Is life getting smaller? Is hope disappearing? Let’s get you and your future back on track.
My online 1-2-1 Support uses the latest pain science of the mind and body connection to help you regain hope and to:
- Reduce pain and pain-related worries.
- Get moving and return to your active life.
- Recover better and reduce reinjury and flare-ups.
How? Research shows that those who understand pain recover better, and those who take active control of their recovery hurt less.
So I help you to:
- Understand the many powerful, but often hidden, things that affect your injury, pain and recovery.
- See a wider range of practical solutions – without medication or surgery!
- Take control and make helpful changes in what you do, think and feel, so that you can be assured of your best recovery.

About Caroline
Everyone’s experience of injury and pain is very unique. So I work hard to understand your injury and pain, and work with you to make sense of its causes and to find the solutions that will work best for you.
I have enjoyed working as a psychology lecturer, researcher and consultant for 25 years. I’m a British Psychological Society (BPS) Practitioner Psychologist (Sport & Exercise Psychology) with HCPC practitioner registration. My PhD was in behaviour change psychology.
My interest in injury psychology started early in my career whilst working with athletes (professional/international to recreational). I decided to pursue this as a focus within my support work after experiencing back pain and realising how injury had affected my own life, life path and activity choices.
I’m excited that the latest pain science gives a new and real opportunity to understand injury, pain and recovery, and to use psychology to make a real difference: I know how important it is for you to recover effectively.
