Hi, I'm Kate and I am the founder of Bloom Counselling. I specialise in providing support around anxiety, loss, grief and bereavement. I have a special interest in providing support for anyone affected by cancer or a life limiting illness (such as,MND). With my experience as a Counsellor ,and 20 plus years of being a nurse, I bring experience, empathy and understanding to help you manage this very uncertain time. From the shock of a diagnosis, managing treatment, being a carer, survivorship, end of life care, decision making and everything in between, I have an understanding of what you may be going through and can support you.
A diagnosis of cancer or a life limiting illness can turn your life up side down. Everything has suddenly changed and there are a lot of adjustments to make physically, mentally, sexually, emotionally. It can effect your relationships and those around you. It can feel like a very lonely time.
It can be hard to find someone to talk to who understands what you may be going through, and that is where I can support you. You don't have to do this alone, contact me for an appointment and we can work through your concerns together.
