Embrace the Support You Deserve on Your Cancer Journey.
Transformative mental healthcare
We're a team of experienced doctoral-level cancer psychologists specialising in mental health care for those affected by cancer. Our evidence-based therapies help enhance coping and advance psychological wellbeing. By collaborating with your medical team, we ensure comprehensive care. We also offer the latest evidence-based training to corporate teams, optimising psychological well-being in healthcare settings and wider organisations. Connect with our psychologists online or in-person to receive personalised support.
A modern approach
It’s essential for us that our clients get personalised suggestions on who from our experienced team members is the best match. Rather than do things the typical way, we’ve created a system designed around our clients’ needs.
Specialism
We draw on a range of psychological models such as CBT, CFT, and systemic family therapy, and offer many different types of therapy, including family and couples therapy for people affected by cancer. We specialise in supporting individuals with the following:
Working throughout cancer treatment to optimise mental wellbeing
Preparing for and supporting individuals through cancer treatment including surgery
Assisting with complex cancer decision-making
Facilitating communication about mental wellbeing between the individual and their cancer medical team
Addressing anxiety related to cancer procedures (e.g., blood tests, surgery, chemotherapy)
Helping individuals cope with challenges resulting from cancer such as trauma, phobias, sleep disorders, fear of recurrence, psychosexual difficulties, changes in relationships, and health anxiety
Supporting individuals in emotionally processing past cancer experiences, even years after treatment completion
Providing specialised support for bereavement and existential fears within the context of cancer diagnosis and treatment
Why you should trust us?
We are trained to a Doctorate level in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy) and are registered with the HCPC, demonstrating our expertise and qualifications in the field. We are experienced cancer psychologists who lead cancer psychology teams within the NHS and teach at various healthcare programs.
Our contributions extend beyond clinical practice. We actively participate in national guidance for cancer such as Teenage and Young Adults with cancer, and as a subject matter experts in cancer psychological care in prehabilitation. Noteworthy publications include our multicentre research in 2022, and novel findings in the area of esophageal cancer, further expanding our understanding of this complex condition.
Our commitment to improving cancer care is exemplified by the development of a groundbreaking psychological prehabilitation program for colorectal cancer patients. Highlighted in the publication ‘‘Multimodal prehabilitation service for patients with colorectal cancer: the challenges of implementation’’ this innovative approach demonstrates our dedication to pushing the boundaries of psychological support within comprehensive cancer treatment plans. Our efforts have been further supported by grants, such as the Cancer Alliance grant we received in 2020, specifically aimed at developing psychological prehabilitation for colorectal cancer (currently under publication).
Our commitment to delivering exceptional care has been recognised with the prestigious 2018 Guy's and St Thomas's People's Awards. This acknowledgment reinforces our dedication to providing compassionate and impactful psychological support to individuals facing cancer.
