Chronic Fatigue

Talking therapies for Chronic Fatigue in Cardiff, Carmarthen and Online Via Video.

Chronic fatigue is a persistent and overwhelming sense of tiredness that does not improve with rest. It can affect concentration, memory, motivation, and daily functioning. Individuals may feel physically and emotionally drained, making it difficult to manage work, relationships, or everyday responsibilities. While chronic fatigue may have physical causes, the emotional impact can be significant. Talking therapies provides a supportive space to understand these challenges, develop coping strategies, and rebuild balance and wellbeing.

Counselling for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) – How Are Talking Therapies Different?

Counselling for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is one form of talking therapy that can help individuals understand their symptoms, manage the emotional impact of long-term fatigue, and develop strategies that support daily functioning. Counselling offers structured, supportive sessions that focus on current challenges, pacing, coping skills, and the psychological effects of living with persistent exhaustion. Psychotherapy explores the emotional patterns, past experiences, and psychological processes that may influence how individuals respond to their symptoms and the broader impact of CFS on wellbeing. Both counselling and psychotherapy for chronic fatigue syndrome are beneficial, but they differ in focus, method, and the type of change they aim to achieve. Psychotherapy offers a more in-depth approach, making it particularly well suited for individuals who want to understand the underlying factors shaping their emotional responses and work towards longer-term, meaningful change.

At iTT, all talking therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome is delivered by qualified psychotherapists. This ensures that individuals receive a depth of support capable of addressing both current symptoms and the underlying psychological factors linked to their condition.
