Nick Wood is a clinical psychologist and academic who has experienced chronic pelvic pain (CPP) for over 25 years.

Faced with having to cope with the condition, Nick was desperate to learn more and has conducted research at both Masters and Doctorate level, producing several doctoral theses on female pelvic pain.

In tandem with his academic activity, Nick has learned to successfully manage CPP to the point where he feels cured – albeit with a small ‘c’!

As both patient and clinician, Nick brings a wealth of expertise and a truly unique perspective to Pelvic Pain Matters.

Nick says: “Based on straddling multiple identities as a clinical psychologist, researcher and pelvic pain sufferer, I aim to illustrate the importance of developing kind and careful discussions around the meaning of pelvic pain symptoms and experiences.

“This means learning to understand the role of stories in our accounts of both illness and health and how this may help guide us in our search towards healing and wholeness, despite the ongoing impact of pelvic pain.

“Pain is not the end of our journey, although it is a massive 'boulder' along the way. At the close of my Pelvic Pain Matters session, I will share some psychological tools I have found particularly useful for managing this.”

This webinar is for:

• Male and female pelvic pain patients
