About these Clinics/Practices

Mary Roberts is a dedicated Clinical Psychologist specialising in sleep and persistent pain, with over a decade of experience in multidisciplinary practice and pain science research. Her expertise in managing complex chronic conditions makes her particularly well-suited to support individuals with hypermobility spectrum disorders and associated conditions. She is passionate about supporting people with chronic pain, helping them overcome sleeping difficulties and trauma-related symptoms – challenges that frequently impact those with connective tissue disorders.

Inspired by the life-changing impact of a pain management program on a friend, Mary sought out pain management clinics for her Masters degree placements. With more than ten years of experience in pain care, she has worked in private practices and government-funded pain clinics, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to provide her patients with a wide range of therapeutic options. This collaborative approach is especially valuable for individuals managing the multiple aspects of hypermobility conditions.

Mary’s approach to pain care involves a mixture of general psychology and chronic pain management, with particular attention to the power of quality sleep and overcoming trauma symptoms or post-traumatic stress disorder. Her understanding of how sleep disorders and chronic pain intersect is particularly relevant for those managing hypermobility-related pain and fatigue. She believes that addressing these aspects is vital for enhancing the overall quality of a person’s life and helping them regain independence, especially when dealing with complex chronic conditions that affect multiple body systems.
