One to One Support

Service Description

I can help reduce the stress and panic of cancer diagnosis by offering: Calm, authoritative, experienced views when asked for an opinion. Reassuring advice at initial diagnosis, base on my experience of supporting hundreds of women who have been through a breast cancer diagnosis. A safe environment to talk about the impact of your diagnosis on you, your family and your work. Practical advice if you are undergoing reconstruction surgery including how to prepare and how to encourage your family to give you emotional and practical support. A confidential place to voice your fears, concerns and worries, as I know patients often find they have no other place for these conversations. Actionable ways to formulate questions that you might have for your healthcare professionals but don't have the language or confidence to articulate. I can help stop you from “going down rabbit holes” by reassuring, giving practical advice based on experience with hundreds of women who have been in similar positions. We will be able to explore all the options open to you at every stage in your process from diagnosis to all clear and beyond - without the pressure of family members or surgeons being present. I can offer post-operative support to help you look forward and understand what the coming weeks, months, years might look like.
