Cancer

Cancer can change everything—but no one should have to navigate those changes alone. As a specialist psychotherapist in cancer care, I work with individuals and those affected by cancer facing the emotional, physical, and existential challenges that can accompany a diagnosis and cancer journey.

​

With extensive experience both within NHS specialist cancer psychology services and privately, I understand the realities of oncology treatment and the psychological toll it can take, months and years afterwards.

​

I support people through many stages of a cancer journey including; initial diagnosis, treatment decision-making, chemotherapy-related difficulties, body image issues, relationship challenges, fatigue, pain, sleep issues and life adjustment issues.

Therapy can offer clarity, stability and a safe space where people can process the many difficult and complex emotions involved in a cancer journey such as fear, anger, confusion, anxiety, low mood and grief.

​

Together we can look to find new ways to live with the uncertainty which going through a cancer journey can bring.

My approach combines compassion with clinical expertise, supporting people to find new meanings, live in accordance with their values and explore ways to maintain a sense of control even in the face of a cancer journey.

​

My therapeutic work aims to promote psychological healing, enhance quality of life, and offers tools that can help reduce distress and support healing on every level: emotional, psychological, and relational.

Cancer can change everything—but no one should have to navigate those changes alone.
