Individual psychotherapy sessions

I offer one-on-one psychotherapy sessions designed to address the specific mental health needs of each individual. In these sessions, we can explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours in a supportive environment. Through integrative therapy, I draw upon a variety of techniques tailored to your circumstances, whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, or life transitions. My goal is to help empower you to overcome obstacles and develop coping strategies that facilitate healing. The time spent in these sessions will be focused on your journey toward recovery and improved mental wellbeing.

Group therapy for cancer patients

Group therapy can be an invaluable resource for cancer patients, providing a space for shared experiences and emotional support. In these sessions, participants will connect with individuals facing similar challenges, fostering a sense of community and understanding. Together, we explore various topics related to coping with illness, managing treatment side effects, and processing emotions related to cancer. This therapeutic environment encourages openness and solidarity, allowing participants to share their journeys and support each other through difficult times, enhancing resilience and hope.

Support for families and caregivers

Being a caregiver can be both rewarding and challenging, often leading to emotional strain. I offer dedicated support for families and caregivers of cancer patients, addressing the unique stressors they face. Through therapy, we will explore the dynamics within your family, discuss coping strategies, and help you communicate effectively with one another. My aim is to strengthen family bonds, reduce feelings of isolation, and provide the tools necessary to care for your loved one while also taking care of yourself. Together, we can promote healthier family interactions during these challenging times.

Coping strategies for treatment side effects

Cancer treatment can lead to a myriad of side effects that impact mental and emotional health. In my sessions, I work with you to develop effective coping strategies tailored to alleviate the psychological burdens of these physical challenges. We may explore relaxation techniques, mindfulness practices, and cognitive behavioural strategies to manage the stress that arises from treatment. Empowering you to take charge of your wellbeing is key, and together we can identify actionable steps to navigate the complexities of living with side effects, ensuring you feel supported throughout your journey.

Grief and loss counselling

Grief can manifest in many forms, and I understand that navigating loss is a deeply personal experience. My counselling sessions for grief and loss focus on providing a safe space for you to articulate your feelings and honour your memories. Together, we will explore the complexities of your grief and develop healthy coping mechanisms to process your emotions. Through tailored support, I aim to help you transition through this difficult time, facilitating healing while recognising that every individual’s journey through grief is unique and valid.

Psychoeducation about cancer and mental health

Understanding the relationship between cancer and mental health is vital for both patients and their families. In these informative sessions, I provide psychoeducation on the emotional impacts of cancer and offer guidance on mental health maintenance during and after treatment. By equipping you with valuable knowledge, I aim to demystify the mental health challenges often faced by cancer patients and caregivers. We will explore the nature of stress, anxiety, and depression in relation to a cancer diagnosis, fostering a clearer understanding that promotes healthier coping strategies and resilience.

Couples Therapy

In couples therapy, I focus on fostering open communication and addressing any issues affecting the relationship. Whether you're facing challenges related to stress, illness, or interpersonal dynamics, I create a safe environment for both partners to express their feelings and aspirations. Together, we’ll explore conflict resolution techniques, enhance emotional intimacy, and strengthen your connection. My integrative approach allows me to tailor the sessions to fit your unique relationship needs, enabling you both to navigate challenges and grow together as a couple.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma can leave deep emotional scars, affecting your ability to lead a fulfilling life. In my trauma therapy sessions, I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where you can process traumatic experiences at your own pace. Using integrative therapeutic techniques, we will work together to address the underlying issues associated with trauma, including anxiety, fear, and emotional dysregulation. My goal is to empower you to reclaim your narrative and heal from past experiences, fostering resilience and improving your overall mental health in the process.
