Chronic Pain Counselling

Customized and evidence-based care provided at the highest standard.

Why Counselling

Chronic pain is real—and it’s influenced by the body, the nervous system, and life’s stressors. Our counsellors work alongside you to reduce pain’s impact on your day-to-day life, even when symptoms fluctuate. Care is delivered virtually across Alberta, with optional home visits in Calgary.

We combine pain-science education with CBT/ACT-informed strategies, pacing, graded activity/exposure, sleep and stress skills, and flare-up planning. Your plan is tailored to your goals—returning to activities, improving mood and sleep, or building confidence to move again. As a multidisciplinary clinic, we can coordinate seamlessly with physiotherapy and exercise physiology to align counselling and movement plans.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. Schedule your first appointment and start building tools that help you live more fully, even with chronic pain.

Assessment Session


Your initial mental health counselling appointment at Hyperion is a comprehensive, person-centred intake designed to understand your story, strengths, and goals. Delivered via telehealth or as a home visit, this session typically includes:


Biopsychosocial Assessment

We explore current concerns, history, daily routines, strengths, supports, and any factors affecting your well-being.


Screening & Safety

With your consent, we may use brief, evidence-based tools (e.g., PHQ-9, GAD-7, AUDIT) to help clarify symptoms. We also review risk and create a basic safety plan if needed.


Goal Setting

Together, we define clear, realistic outcomes—whether reducing stress and anxiety, improving mood, addressing eating-related concerns, or building strategies for addiction recovery.


Personalized Care Plan

You’ll leave with a tailored plan outlining session focus, between-session skills (e.g., grounding, cognitive strategies, pacing), and recommended frequency. When helpful, we coordinate with our physiotherapy, exercise physiology, or dietitian teams for integrated care.


Informed Consent & Privacy

We review how counselling works, your rights, confidentiality limits, and how we protect your information (HIA/PIPA compliant).



Follow-Up Sessions


After your assessment, follow-ups focus on making steady, practical progress:


Progress Check-Ins

We track changes in symptoms, stressors, and functioning, and celebrate wins.


Skill Building & Practice

Sessions may include CBT/ACT-informed strategies, motivational interviewing for behaviour change, pain-coping tools, or relapse-prevention planning—matched to your needs.


Plan Refinement

We adjust goals, introduce new skills, or pace the work differently as life changes.


Addressing New Concerns

If new challenges arise, we adapt promptly and revise the care plan together.



Ongoing Support & Accountability


Our aim is to help you feel better—and stay better. Regular follow-ups provide structure, encouragement, and problem-solving so you can maintain gains between sessions. When appropriate, we collaborate with your broader care team and share concise progress updates with your permission.


Expect a respectful, collaborative approach focused on your goals, your values, and durable results—delivered virtually or in the comfort of your home.
