All types of support

Psycho-oncology

A cancer diagnosis can change everyday life in a moment. You can talk about what illness brings — even when it's hard to find the words.

The person beyond the diagnosis

I support people with cancer and their loved ones: from diagnosis, through treatment and into life afterwards. I also support people through recurrence and in palliative care.

There is space for fear, anger, sadness, uncertainty and hope. We talk about what matters most to you. Your story, circumstances and current needs shape the pace of our meetings.

You don't need ready-made answers to ask someone to be alongside you.

At every
stage

Illness isn't a single, straightforward journey. Choose the stage you would like to read about.

I'm a loved one
After diagnosis

Many questions, unfamiliar words and uncertainty. In a conversation, you can pause with what feels most frightening or hardest to put into words right now.

Let's talk
During treatment

Tests, appointments and changes to everyday life can take up a great deal of space. There is also room for your relationships, needs and life beyond treatment.

Let's talk
After treatment

The end of treatment doesn't always mean the end of difficult feelings. You can talk about returning to everyday life, changing plans and anxiety before check-ups.

Let's talk
When cancer returns

Recurrence can bring new questions and familiar fears. You don't have to return to being the person who has strength for everything.

Let's talk
In palliative care

Presence, quality of everyday life and what matters to you remain important. Support also includes loved ones.

Let's talk

Space for
your feelings

What we can talk about

What is happening within and around you. The conversation doesn't have to focus only on illness.

Uncertainty and everyday life
Waiting for results, talking to loved ones, changing plans or needing a break from the subject of treatment. You can begin with whatever takes up the most space today.
Relationships and needs
How can you say what help you need? What if people expect you to stay positive all the time? There is room for your own boundaries and a range of feelings.

You can ask

Is support available after treatment too?

Yes. I also support people in remission and as they return to everyday life after treatment. You don't have to wait for another crisis to arrange a conversation.

Can a loved one attend on their own?

Yes. Someone providing support can arrange their own consultation. Their needs don't have to be the same as those of the person who is ill.

Does a conversation replace medical treatment?

Psychological support focuses on feelings and everyday functioning. Discuss treatment decisions and physical symptoms with your medical team.

Where shall
we start?

Our first meeting helps us get to know your situation and needs. You don't need to prepare your story or know what to ask.

We usually talk for 50 minutes. We agree the date, fee and consultation format in advance. During the meeting, we explore possible next steps together.

Questions before your first meeting

You don't need to know where to start.
