There is now substantial research evidence to show that psychological approaches can make a significant difference to the experience of pain (Eccleston 2010).

We use  cognitive behaviour therapy, mindfulness strategies, and EMDR (eye movement desensitisation reprocessing).

The client is taken through a structured programme in which the following skills are developed:

• Relaxation
• Imagery
• Breathing Techniques
• Cognitive Strategies
• Goal Setting and Pacing

Nigel Mills, as a licensed medical acupuncturist, is also able to offer medical acupuncture as an adjunct to this programme. Acupuncture has been shown in research trials to make a significant difference to the perception of pain.

The pain management programme is available in Cardiff, Abergavenny or Newport.
