Counselling
A safe space to talk about cancer.
One-to-one counselling for cancer patients, survivors, and the people who care for them. Built on more than fifteen years of practice in psychotherapy, and on my own journey as a breast cancer survivor.

Why work with me
A counsellor who has walked this path.
Being a psychotherapist makes me a compassionate listener, and being a breast cancer survivor gives me the ability to understand the pain one goes through during the journey of cancer.
To deserve support you need not be strong and resilient, or weak and meek. I promise to support you in any and every situation.
Positive Mind, Positive Body
Every pain is temporary, we can tide through it
