Making ongoing support for chronic illness more accessible

Clea provides ongoing mental health support for people living with chronic illness - including migraines, chronic pain, endometriosis, autoimmune conditions, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Built to support people between medical appointments, with dedicated Mental Health Nurse support and counselling available when needed.

Built from lived experience

Clea was founded by Simon Greally and his partner Alice - partners in life and now in purpose. Simon, a former professional athlete turned health tech leader, knows firsthand the invisibility, misdiagnosis, and mental toll that chronic illness brings.

At 31, Simon was told he had Multiple Sclerosis. The prognosis was devastating: progressive symptoms, possible wheelchair use, and a future filled with uncertainty.

But after months of tests and specialist appointments, the diagnosis changed. It wasn’t MS. It was a severe form of chronic migraine.

Invisible. Debilitating. Often impossible for others to fully understand.

That experience exposed something deeper - the emotional toll of living with chronic illness in a system built around appointments, not the reality of everyday life between them.

Clea was created for people living with conditions like migraines, endometriosis, chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome - people who often feel dismissed, exhausted, isolated, or forced to constantly start over.

We believe ongoing support matters.

That’s why Clea provides dedicated Mental Health Nurse support between appointments, with counselling available when needed - designed to work alongside your existing healthcare team, not replace it.

Because living with chronic illness can feel incredibly lonely. And people shouldn’t have to navigate it alone.

Built for the reality of chronic illness

Purpose: Clea exists to support the emotional impact of chronic illness between medical appointments - the moments when people are often left managing symptoms, uncertainty, exhaustion, and overwhelm on their own.
What We Do: Clea provides ongoing mental health support for people living with chronic illness, with regular support between appointments from dedicated Mental Health Nurses and counselling available when needed.
How Clea fits in: Clea is designed to work alongside your existing healthcare team - not replace it. We are not a crisis, emergency, or acute psychiatric service. Our focus is ongoing support, continuity, and helping people feel more supported over time.
What we believe: Living with chronic illness can feel isolating. We believe support should continue between appointments too.

You don’t have to justify your illness here

Living with chronic illness can be exhausting - not just physically, but emotionally too. The unpredictability, flare-ups, constant appointments, and feeling of not always being understood can take a real toll over time.

Clea was built specifically for people living with chronic illness, including migraines, endometriosis, chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, Long COVID, and cancer survivorship.

Our support is designed to continue between medical appointments, with dedicated Mental Health Nurse support and counselling available when needed.
