What a first psychology session is like
- Psychology
- First visit
Fifty minutes, a cup of tea and no couch. What we ask, what you don’t have to say, and what happens after.

How Leila works
Pain that lasts changes how you sleep, move and think about your body. I work on that part, often in the same weeks as your physiotherapy, so the two plans pull in one direction.
Sessions are talking, and a little homework: small experiments with the things you have started to avoid.
From the journal
Leila’s note first, then the latest from the team.
The knee that won’t settle
- Knees
- Recovery
Six weeks after a twist and it still swells after a walk. Why rest alone rarely fixes it, and what does.
Maren Okafor
Sleep after an injury
- Sleep
- Pain
Pain keeps you up, and lost sleep makes pain louder. How to break the loop without counting hours.
