Stress Illness Recovery

‘7.8 million people live with chronic pain and there is 1 pain specialist for 32,000 people in pain’.
CMO Annual Report 2008

• Do you see patients whose lives are severely limited by chronic pain?

• Are you interested in resolving the cause of your clients’ condition, rather than just managing their symptoms?

• Are you interested in becoming part of a growing network of respected professionals helping to change people’s lives forever?

Throughout the western world people suffer from severe pain and other symptoms which persist, despite conventional and alternative treatments. Some of these conditions may be given a diagnosis, for many others no cause can be found, yet these very real symptoms are often due to hidden stresses.

SIRPA delivers courses for health professionals and coaches based on ground breaking work that is changing people’s lives. Stress Illness is the most common cause of chronic pain and as it is reversible, full recovery is possible, no matter how severe or long term the symptoms.

The mission of SIRPA (Stress Illness Recovery Practitioners Association) is to raise awareness of this exciting and life changing approach to chronic pain by training respected health professionals in order to improve the quality of life of those people who will benefit most.

What others say...
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.”
