You’ve just heard the words “cancer” or “brain tumour,” and suddenly life feels uncertain, overwhelming, or surreal. Maybe you’re trying to stay strong for everyone else while falling apart inside. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment, recovering, or living with ongoing impacts, you don’t have to face it alone. I work along side people navigating these challenges, offering a space to feel seen, heard, and gently supported through whatever this chapter brings.
You don’t have to do it alone. I’ll walk beside you with compassion, honesty, and care as you find your way through.
I’m a counsellor with 12 + years’ experience and lived experience of a brain tumour and cancer. I offer heart-centered, client-led support for your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. I can help with fear, overwhelm, grief, anxiety, and the mental health impacts of illness, at your pace.
You don’t have to face this alone. I’ll walk alongside you.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or alone, you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. I understand this journey deeply and I’m here to offer genuine support. Whether you’re ready to talk or just need someone to walk beside you for a while, that truely understands, I’m here for. Reach out today
