Our Approach

There is no "right" way to feel after a breast cancer diagnosis.

You might feel frightened or overwhelmed. You might find yourself constantly thinking about cancer, or you may want to put it out of your mind completely. You might be coping well most of the time but find certain appointments, scans or conversations particularly difficult.

Therapy isn't about telling you to "stay positive."

Our psychologists provide a supportive space where difficult thoughts and emotions can be talked about openly, without judgement or pressure to feel a particular way.

Support is tailored to you and may draw on evidence-based psychological approaches to help with anxiety, uncertainty, adjustment, self-compassion, emotional regulation and reconnecting with the parts of life that matter to you.

Psychological support can provide a space to make sense of what you're experiencing and develop ways of managing the uncertainty and changes that cancer can bring.

We can support you with

• Adjusting to a breast cancer diagnosis

• Anxiety about treatment, appointments, scans and results

• Fear of cancer returning or progressing

• Coping with uncertainty

• Changes to your body, body image and confidence

• Adjusting emotionally to breast surgery

• Changes in identity and sense of self

• Relationships, intimacy and family roles

• Managing work alongside treatment and recovery

• Returning to work and everyday life

• Living with the ongoing effects of treatment

• Making space for difficult emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them
