Carla Ellis
Breathing and Physiotherapy Coach (Scotland)

Feeling stuck? Limited by pain, breathlessness, fatigue, anxiety – or something harder to name?

Many of the things that leave us stuck don’t sit neatly in one box. They live in the body and the mind at once, and they often need treatment that does the same. Working with this complexity is my speciality.

I’m Carla, a Chartered Physiotherapist. Alongside clinical physiotherapy, I draw on a cognitive behavioural model of change and years of working with people to help you understand what’s holding you back and build practical strategies to move forward.

What I can help with

This approach works for things physiotherapy is well known for: joint and muscle pain, COPD, post-viral fatigue, anxiety. It also works for the things that are harder to pin down – persistent pain with no clear cause, unexplained breathlessness, exhaustion that nobody has been able to name. If you’ve been told “there’s nothing wrong” but you know there is, this may be for you.

Expert assessment will allow accurate diagnosis, leading to a personalised treatment plan. It will have clear steps that you can follow, with regular support to keep you on track.
