Do you suffer from persistent, chronic pain?

Are you struggling to cope because of your pain?

Have you tried drugs and various physical approaches with little relief?

SIRPA Ltd provides a cutting edge approach to resolving pain, rather than helping you learn to live with it. 

"Medical 'treatment' or palliative care focusses on suppressing or masking symptoms - 'palliative' derives from the Latin 'palliare', to cloak. Finally, with SIRPA, we now have a non-suppressive approach to chronic pain; this is the true medicine" Dr Adam Al-Kashi, Head of Research, Backcare UK

Pain
The acute pain of an injury is an unpleasant, but important, biological signal indicating tissue damage. However, we are beginning to understand that where there is no underlying physical disease, such as cancer or an auto-immune disorder, chronic pain is actually created by the brain and central nervous system rather than the bodily location where the pain is felt to be. 

The triggers for the brain to create pain are many and varied, but the nervous system’s response is an adapted form of our primal 'fight and flight' response and therefore is unconscious and automatic. Unfortunately nerve pathways become learned and symptoms can persist due to conditionng.

SIRPA's pioneering approach to recovery from chronic pain
SIRPA’s approach is based on this concept and uses education as well as numerous self-empowering strategies to address the central nervous system directly, via its ‘software’ – the mind.  As the pain process itself is reversible full recovery is possible, no matter how severe or longstanding the condition.

Pain is often not just an unpleasant inconvenience; it can torture and incapacitate you, severely impacting your quality of life and your ability to function.  The SIRPA approach enables individuals to make the necessary shifts, often with life changing results.

What others say...

Dr Adam Al-Kashi, Head of Research & Education, Backcare

"The SIRPA Practitioner course was both illuminating and humbling; a rare privilege to witness the future of medical education".  

Nicky McKenzie MCSP

If you are a therapist who specialises in chronic pain, you must do the four day practitioner course! I have specialised in the treatment of chronic pain for over six years and have never before been so inspired by a single course. Pushing the boundaries of physiotherapy has given me a whole new set of treatment options to empower patients to take control of their lives again. Thanks Georgie!

Pete Gray MCSP

"The SIRPA course left me feeling inspired to join Georgie in pushing this work forward. Georgie’s enthusiasm, knowledge, and personal insight into stress illness recovery make for an excellent combination."

Wayne Kampers MRCPsych

"As a Consultant Psychiatrist I often see clients with ‘Stress-Related and Somatoform Disorders”. So many of these individuals turn out to have ‘Stress Illness’ as described by Georgina. Her SIRPA Training Programme and SIRPA approach to Stress Illness enables Health Professionals to develop the skills to identify this often chronic and disabling condition in their own clients. Georgina really has been instrumental in the positive changing of lives forever."

Peter Zafirides MD

"Georgie, You are a leader in the field as well. We are all in this together for the same reason - to reduce pain and suffering. Thank you for SIRPA and all you are doing 'on the other side of the pond'!!" Peter Zafirides MD, Psychiatrist & Clinical Assistant Professor at Ohio State University’s Dept of Psychiatry 

John E Sarno MD

“It’s great having such a competent and enthusiastic colleague in the UK” John E Sarno MD Professor in Rehabilitation Medicine, New York University School of Medicine and Pioneer in the field of Tension Myositis Syndrome (Stress Illness)

Louise Levy MA Clinical Hypnotherapist & Hypno-CBT

“I particularly welcome treating people who have been told they have DDD (Degenerative Disc Disease) as I myself was told this and indeed 'believed' it for 12 years, in which time I had 4 spine operations. I now ‘walk my talk’ so to speak, in both my personal and professional life, integrating Georgie's work with my own models of psychotherapy with excellent results.”

Liz Dyde MBACP

“The SIRPA training is an excellent training course particularly if you are a counsellor/psychotherapist. It’s even better if you have training from a psychodynamic perspective.  When I heard about SIRPA  I knew that  all I ever suspected about the causes of pain and illness were validated.”

Dennis Donnelly Osteopath & Body Psychotherapist

“I wanted to do a course which filled the gaps in my knowledge base, was professionally led, current, and gave me a set of tools that I could use with my clients. Georgie’s course gave me what I wanted, and I use the SIRPA approach, tools and techniques on a daily basis across my client base.”
