| Cancer Counselling

Diagnosis | Treatment | Carers | Remission | The New You | The Deep Dive

A cancer diagnosis can feel like being swept out to sea.

Whether you're facing diagnosis, undergoing treatment, adjusting to remission, supporting a loved one, or finding your way forward after cancer, the experience can feel overwhelming, unpredictable, and deeply personal.

Cancer doesn’t only affect the body—it touches emotions, relationships, identity, and the way you see your future.

I specialise in supporting people affected by cancer, drawing on both professional training and a deep understanding of the emotional impact it can have.

I often think of the cancer journey as a coastal voyage with six stages: the diagnosis, the treatment, the carers, the remission, the new you, and the deep dive. Rather than separate steps, they often overlap, shift, and return in waves.

As a qualified Counsellor and Rapid Transformational Therapist, I offer support for:

• People living with cancer
• Those undergoing treatment
• People adjusting to life after treatment or remission
• Partners, carers, and family members
• Anyone impacted by a cancer diagnosis

Together, we create a safe space to process what’s happening, manage anxiety and uncertainty, support emotional wellbeing, and help you move through this experience in a way that feels grounded and supported.

I've travelled these waters myself. While I can't change the tide, I can help you navigate it.

| Counselling

I believe that counselling is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Life is full of challenges, and sometimes, navigating them on your own can feel overwhelming. Counselling offers a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences while working toward clarity, healing, and growth.

As a counsellor, my role is to provide a nonjudgmental environment where you can share openly, gain insight, and develop tools to face life’s complexities with confidence and resilience. Whether you’re struggling with a specific issue or simply seeking personal growth, counselling can help you move forward.

  • Deciding to seek counselling is a personal and often courageous step. Many people wonder if their challenges are "big enough" or if they should manage on their own. The truth is, counselling can benefit anyone looking to improve their emotional well-being, relationships, or quality of life.

    Here are some signs that counselling could help you:

    • Feeling Overwhelmed or Stuck: If you’re struggling to cope with stress, anxiety, or life changes, and it feels like you’ve hit a wall, counselling can provide clarity and direction.

    • Persistent Sadness or Hopelessness: Feeling down is a part of life, but if these feelings linger and affect your daily life, it’s worth exploring why.Relationship Difficulties: Whether it’s communication struggles, unresolved conflicts, or feelings of isolation, counselling can strengthen connections and offer tools to rebuild trust.

    • Self-Exploration and Growth: Counselling isn’t only for challenges—it’s also for self-discovery, personal development, and achieving goals.

    • Trauma or Grief: If you’ve experienced loss, trauma, or significant change, counselling offers a safe space to process and heal.

    • Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms: Turning to habits like overeating, drinking, or avoidance can signal a need to explore underlying issues.

  • Counseling is highly effective in addressing a wide range of challenges, including:

    • Anxiety, stress, and burnout

    • Depression or persistent feelings of sadness

    • Grief and loss

    • Life transitions and decision-making

    • Relationship difficulties

    • Low self-esteem or self-doubt

    • Personal growth and self-discovery

    Whatever you’re facing, counseling offers a space to unpack your concerns and build a path toward positive change.

  • Counseling is a collaborative process. In our sessions, we’ll work together to:

    • Understand Your Experience: Explore the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that may be influencing your current challenges.

    • Set Clear Goals: Identify what you’d like to achieve through counseling, whether it’s overcoming a specific issue, improving relationships, or simply gaining greater self-awareness.

    • Develop Practical Strategies: Build tools and skills to manage emotions, improve communication, and make meaningful changes in your life.

    Every session is tailored to your unique needs and pace. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach—this is about what works best for you.

  • Counseling isn’t just about addressing problems—it’s about empowering you to live a more fulfilling and balanced life. It offers:

    • A Safe Space: Share your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

    • Clarity and Insight: Gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences.

    • Skills for Life: Learn practical tools to navigate challenges and improve your overall well-being.

It’s about taking control of your life and seeking the tools to truly thrive. Whether you are looking for guidance during a difficult time or striving for personal growth, counselling can be a transformative experience.

You don’t have to wait until things become unbearable. There is nothing to be embarrassed, ashamed or even intimidated about seeking counselling. Seeking help early can prevent issues from escalating and equip you with the tools to navigate life with confidence.

I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, identify your strengths, and work toward positive change.  

Counselling is not just about addressing problems—it’s about empowering you to live your best life.  

If you’re unsure whether counselling is right for you, I’d be happy to offer a free initial 15 minute consultation to discuss your needs and goals. The most important thing is to understand, that you’re not alone, and support is just a step away.

| RapidTransformationalTherapy®

Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT®) is an award-winning, globally recognised therapy technique based on neuroscience. It combines the most powerful principles of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to deliver fast, effective, and lasting results. We essentially peel back the layers until we discover the root cause of your issue. I like to think of RTT® as having three essential parts: Motion, Action, and Release.

  • In this phase, RTT® delves deep into the subconscious mind, which governs 95% of your actions and reactions. Your subconscious acts like a hard drive, storing your beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

    Motion Mode allows us to identify the true root cause of your issue, often buried beneath layers of past experiences and learned patterns. This deep exploration provides the foundation for meaningful and lasting change.

  • Here, we implement powerful strategies to create permanent, positive transformation in a short amount of time. Unlike traditional therapies that can span months or years, RTT® delivers results quickly and effectively, liberating you from limiting beliefs and habits that have been holding you back.

    Action Mode is about restoring control and empowering you to move forward with confidence and clarity.

  • In the final phase, is all about releasing and letting go. Together we work to heal past wounds, release outdated beliefs, and realign your life. This process not only addresses the symptoms but also ensures that the underlying issues no longer resurface.

    Release Mode is about creating freedom from the past while equipping you to embrace a more empowered and fulfilling future

  • With over three decades of refinement, RTT® has been proven to address a wide range of challenges, including:

    • Anxiety and stress

    • Self-doubt and lack of confidence

    • Limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns

    RTT® empowers clients to overcome these obstacles and improve their overall well-being. It goes beyond quick fixes, offering deep, life-changing outcomes with every session.

  • Through RTT®, I’ll guide you to connect with your subconscious mind, uncover the genuine root cause of your issue, and then work to rewire and upgrade your mind. This ensures that the problem is resolved at its core and does not return.

    Each session is designed to create lasting transformation—progressive, profound, and tailored to you. Although it sounds intense, it actually is incredibly relaxing as you feel as though you are in a meditative state.

Think about it—how often do you upgrade your phone or computer to optimise its performance? Yet, when was the last time you upgraded your mind, the "hard drive" of your body? RTT® offers a unique opportunity to do just that, helping you achieve clarity, control, and transformation in your life.

RTT® is a powerful therapy that delivers fast and effective results by addressing the root cause of your challenges. In a just one or a few sessions this therapy helps uncover and reframe limiting beliefs, releasing what no longer serves you and holding you back. This transformative process empowers you to break free from patterns of anxiety, fear, or self-doubt, enabling you to create lasting positive change.

This therapy has three parts; the initial consultation, the actual session which runs for around 90 minutes and as our mind learns by repetition, a bespoke recording (10 -15 minutes) that you will listen to each day for a minimum of 21-28 days.

RTT® is more than a therapy—it’s an opportunity to take control of your life and rediscover your potential. Experience the transformative power of RTT® and see for yourself how this cutting-edge therapy can help you overcome challenges, heal deeply, and create a brighter future.
