Autoimmune Counselling

55 or 85 Minute Sessions, In Person or Online

Support for your body. Support for your mind.

Autoimmune conditions are not only physical, they touch every part of your life. They can influence how you feel, cope, connect, and care for yourself. At Tideline Wellness, our autoimmune counselling provides a compassionate space to explore the mind-body connection, reduce overwhelm, and support your body in finding steadiness and relief.

Autoimmune counselling is available for all autoimmune conditions, including the most common: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Hashimoto’s, Graves’ Disease, Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis, Celiac Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases such as Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.

Understanding Autoimmune Conditions

Autoimmune illness occurs when the immune system becomes dysregulated and begins to attack healthy tissue. But for many people, the experience goes far deeper than inflammation or physical symptoms. Chronic illness can influence your mental health, your nervous system, your relationships, your sense of safety, and even your identity.

Your symptoms are not random. They are shaped by a combination of biological, emotional, and environmental factors. Stress physiology, unprocessed emotional patterns, past trauma, nutritional stressors, and ongoing dysregulation of the nervous system all play meaningful roles in how symptoms appear, how intense they become, and how your body recovers.

Autoimmune struggles may look like:

• Flare cycles without clear triggers
• Chronic fatigue or pain
• Digestive issues or food sensitivities
• Heightened stress response
• Difficulty regulating emotions
• Anxiety about symptoms or the future
• Feeling misunderstood, dismissed, or alone
• Identity shifts after diagnosis

None of these experiences make you weak. They make you human. And there is a way forward.

A Mind-Body and Evidence-Informed Approach

Autoimmune counselling integrates talk therapy with mind-body practices that support the nervous system, emotional processing, and the physiological stress response. Together, we explore the patterns that influence flares, fatigue, and resilience, helping you understand what your body is communicating and how to respond in a way that promotes healing.

Your sessions may include:
• Nervous system regulation strategies
• Understanding emotional and physiological triggers
• Stress reduction and pacing techniques
• Exploring the emotional impact of diagnosis
• Mindfulness, grounding, and somatic tools
• Nutrition awareness and lifestyle insight
• Resilience and identity rebuilding
• Support around grief, frustration, or fear

You will never be rushed or pushed. We move at a pace that honours your body, your symptoms, and your capacity..

How Autoimmune Counselling Can Help

Many clients notice improvements such as:

• Increased emotional stability

• Reduced stress-related flare cycles

• Greater clarity and understanding of their body

• Improved coping with pain or fatigue

• More balanced nervous system responses

• Better communication with partners, family, and medical providers

• Renewed sense of self, agency, and hope

Healing is not linear, but it is possible. Your body is capable of change. Your nervous system can learn safety. And your emotional world can find steadiness again.
