Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a diagnosis?

 

No. Some people have a diagnosis of ME/CFS or Long COVID, while others simply know they’re living with persistent fatigue. A formal diagnosis isn’t required to benefit from the programme.

 

Do I have to push through symptoms?

​

No. The focus is on changing your response to symptoms, not forcing yourself beyond your limits. You’ll build confidence gradually and safely.

​​

How much energy do I need to participate?

 

Very little. The programme is adapted to your current capacity, and many housebound people have completed it successfully.

​

How long does it take to see changes?

​

Everyone is different. Some people notice shifts quickly; for others, progress is more gradual. The focus is on steady, sustainable change over time.

​

Is this medical treatment?

​

No. This is an educational and coaching‑based programme designed to complement — not replace — medical care.

​

Can I do this alongside other approaches?

 

Yes, within reason. Many people continue with medical support while doing the programme. However, combining lots of approaches at once can create confusion and make it harder to recognise what’s helping.

​

What if I have setbacks?

​

Setbacks are a normal part of recovery. You’ll learn how to understand and respond to them in a calmer, more constructive way.

​

What if I’m housebound?

 

Many housebound people have completed the programme. Sessions can be adapted to your current level of function and energy.

​

What’s the difference between the 1:1 and the Intensive?

 

The core approach is the same. The 1:1 Programme spreads the learning over time, while the Intensive delivers the same principles in a focused, immersive format.
