Cancer Counselling in London
I also work at The Royal Marsden Hospital with patients undergoing cancer treatment.
I work in an integrative and relational way, meeting you as a whole person - not a set of symptoms. I bring an awareness of the body into my work, helping you to notice both what you feel and think, and to build a stronger connection with yourself and others.

Most of us experience feelings of anxiety, sadness, anger, loss, low self-esteem and stress at some time in our lives. You may be experiencing abuse, family issues, burnout, trauma health issues. It can be extremely difficult to express, understand and resolve your feelings when you are emotionally distressed. It may also be difficult to share some issues with family and friends for fear of being judged or misunderstood.
I have 15 years experience of supporting clients with these and other issues. I create a safe space, where you can feel truly heard and understood. I listen and hold what is worrying you, without judgement.

Hello and welcome! Therapy can be transformative and it takes a lot of courage to take the first step towards change. Counselling can be helpful with a wide range of emotional issues, and I hope to help you get through them in a self-empowering way, building resilience and self-reflection that once cultivated, will benefit you long after your counselling ends. No two counselling experiences are ever the same, we may work together for only a short time, or our work together may go on for much longer. It is important to me that I am ethically always meeting your needs and hitting the goals that you need to through our sessions.

My particular area of of expertise is supporting those who may be directly or indirectly affected by cancer or long term illness.
HI, I am Greg from GVB Psychotherapy, a modern therapy service. We may regret our past, it may not even make sense, the present may be scary and the future uncertain.
Are there aspects of your life that feel difficult to talk about? Sometimes the challenges of life can feel overwhelming and having the space to speak about things with someone who has no other place in your day-to-day life can be very helpful.
Working on a long term basis enables a joint exploration at your own pace. This will give you time to heal, gain insight and make meaningful changes.

Effective communication can serve as a valuable opportunity for self-discovery, allowing clients to explore and comprehend the emotions associated with their life circumstances. While friends and family can provide support, their proximity to the situation may sometimes hinder open conversations. In such instances, consulting with an impartial third party can be more advantageous. Counseling can be a transformative and empowering experience. Personally, I have found that counselling can be a transformative and empowering experience. So however you got here, your voice deserves to be heard.

I have expertise in loss, change and bereavement I work with dementia and dementia carers as well as medical trauma, severe illness, cancer and pain.
Finding what you truly need is rarely straightforward. As a therapist with a background as a palliative-trained GP, I offer a holistic understanding and experience in navigating the complexities of life's struggles. I have supported people through grief, (including suicide), trauma, life transitions, and worked extensively with the emotional and practical challenges that come with aging and cognitive decline—both for individuals and their families. Shame and self-doubt can make us believe that things cannot change, but everyone deserves to be heard with safety and without judgment, and to move toward a life that feels meaningful.

I work within an integrative framework, which means I incorporate different therapeutic approaches and techniques to fit individual need and presentation. My philosophy is that all people are inherently good and experience distress as a result of difficult life events, changes and challenging life experiences. My sessions are client-led, which means that what you bring is what we will work on together. If the wish is to move forward, we can work on cognitive and mindset change using cognitive approaches. Equally, it can simply be helpful to have person-centred emotional support which I incorporate in all my approaches.

From my experience, I’ve found that a genuine connection is the foundation for meaningful therapeutic work, and I strive to create a warm, confidential and compassionate space where you can truly be yourself.

Some are trying to hold everything together, while others are dealing with big life changes, like a recent cancer diagnosis, and just trying to get through each day.
You thought things would feel easier by now.
Maybe life wasn't supposed to be this hard. You figured you'd feel more settled, more confident, more in control. But instead, something just feels… off. You're tired. Anxious. Like you're stuck, and no matter what you do, it's hard to move forward.
You know you want more from life, you know you're capable of more, but it's hard to explain. You might feel disconnected from yourself or the people around you. Maybe your relationships are struggling, or you just don’t feel like yourself anymore.
You're not alone.

I want to go on a journey with you and explore your story.
Sometimes life is uncomfortable, and you have nowhere to turn to,
Things look fine from the outside; you appear to be functioning as normal but inside everything feels different and disconnected.
Sometimes these changes happen so slowly they creep up and make us feel incapable and scared that everything will unravel.

Parents often contact me when their child feels anxious, unmotivated or low in confidence, or when school pressure and transitions (Year 7, GCSEs, moves) feel overwhelming. I support children and teens who need steadier routines, better self-regulation and a kinder inner voice. My background blends psychology and education, so sessions feel calm, practical and hopeful. We turn insight into small weekly actions that improve focus, mood and motivation—at home and in school—so young people feel grounded (roots) and braver to grow (wings).

People who come to see me often carry the weight of secrets, unresolved stress, and strained relationships, leading to an internal world that feels unmanageable. Without someone they feel secure enough to confide in, these challenges can feel overwhelming, affecting their ability to live more fulfilling lives. For many, experiences like loss, neglect, or difficult childhoods contribute to anxiety, depression, and feelings of disconnection, issues with sex and sexuality and inability to make life changes. Having a space to talk openly and in confidence can bring relief, making what once felt unmanageable more manageable.

Cancer Counsellors
How does cancer affect mental health?
A cancer diagnosis is a major life event that can significantly influence the mental health of any individual. Being diagnosed with cancer often introduces a sense of uncertainty about the future, which can cause clients to experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, and significant distress. Many cancer patients may also worry about the toll that their diagnosis may have on their family, their physical health, their job, and their financial situation. The compounding of such stressors can also decrease mental health in clients and may lead to additional symptoms that can influence mental health, such as sleeping difficulties or social withdrawal.
What is the best psychological therapy for cancer patients?
The best type of psychological therapy for cancer patients is highly dependent on the needs of the individual. The therapy type that a client benefits from may also depend on what stage of the cancer journey they are in. Recently diagnosed cancer patients, for instance, may benefit from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which can help clients develop skills to manage the emotional distress that comes with a cancer diagnosis. Alternatively, cancer patients further along in their journey may benefit from therapies like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) or other forms of mindfulness therapy to help manage symptoms or physical pain associated with treatment. Clients may also consider group therapy, which offers cancer patients an opportunity to receive support from other individuals dealing with a cancer diagnosis.
Are there any risks or drawbacks in going to therapy while dealing with cancer?
Although attending therapy while dealing with a cancer diagnosis can be helpful, one major concern for cancer patients can be the financial cost of seeking therapy. Many therapists are out-of-network, meaning they do not accept insurance, and thus clients are expected to pay the entirety of the session fee. Since many cancer patients may be out of work as a result of their diagnosis or cancer treatment regimen, the costs of therapy sessions can be substantial. Luckily, many cancer centers and local clinics may offer free or substantially reduced-cost counselling services to cancer patients and their families. In addition, cancer patients may be eligible for grants or other forms of funding from local agencies and nonprofits to seek therapy for their cancer diagnosis. Such opportunities can be very helpful for cancer patients, as they allow clients to obtain the benefits of therapy without the financial strain.
How long does cancer therapy typically last?
The length of cancer therapy depends on the needs of each client. In some cases, cancer patients may only require therapeutic support during the period following their initial diagnosis—to help manage the uncertainty and shock of a cancer diagnosis. In other cases, clients may choose to receive therapy throughout their treatment, and even following, their cancer journey. Pursuing therapy for a longer period of time can help clients develop a deeper relationship with their therapist and provide opportunity to process the challenges presented by cancer treatment, such as physical pain, and challenges associated with cancer survivorship, such as ongoing identity concerns, physical limitations, or relationship challenges.
