Cancer Care
People who are diagnosed with cancer cope with the challenges in different ways. So many factors are out of your control. I can help you regain some control.
As a Chartered Health Psychologist, hypnotherapist and an accredited counsellor, I offer a specialist support to meet your needs in order to reduce your emotional distress and improve your coping.
Counselling involves talking, thinking and doing. I offer you a safe place to express yourself.
I will listen to you, and your unique experience of illness and the aspects of your life that will help you cope better.
I may prompt you by asking questions and making observations that will help you look at things in different ways and find alternative ways of dealing with the problem. You will be directly involved in all aspects of the counselling process.
It is generally accepted that stress can reduce the effectiveness of the human immune system. I will teach you relaxation techniques that can be practiced daily.
