Cancer Counselling in Windsor
I work with people who have been affected by cancer, blood disorders and other medical long-term conditions.
Whilst I am trained in treating a wide range of mental health challenges, I specialise in four areas: the impact of physical illness, trauma, impact of work related issues, and neurodiversity. During my career in the NHS, I have worked with many clients who are living with serious physical illness (including life-limiting conditions) and/or long-term conditions. I am also providing support for carers. Using EMDR, I can treat trauma, including PTSD and trauma caused by medical conditions and/or treatment. I can also support you with work and stress related problems and living as a neurodivergent person in a neurotypical world.

My approach to therapy is friendly, respectful & totally non-judgemental. Primarily I use an Integrative Therapy based on TTM ( Transtheoretical Model of Change) based (between others) on your goals, readiness to change and the fact that ‘no one type of therapy fits all’. Psychoeducation about your symptoms, coping strategies (CBT and Mindfulness') will improve your everyday life and if you feel ready to work on the 'the roots' of the current difficulties- EMDR, Counselling and Attachment Theory would be something to explore. I adjust therapy to my clients and not the other way around.

I offer in-depth therapy for real, lasting change. I'm a Psychodynamic & CBT-trained psychotherapeutic counsellor with extensive experience of psychological care. My gold-standard training spans multiple therapy types (see website), allowing optimally individualised therapy.
My work is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, an approach that explores how early experiences and unconscious patterns continue to shape our lives today. I integrate classical psychoanalytic thinking with contemporary psychodynamic theory and the latest research, allowing for deep, meaningful therapy within a modern framework.

Are you facing change or loss that feels overwhelming? Life shifts in many ways; job changes, moving, relationships ending, health challenges, bereavement or retirement. Even chosen changes can bring stress and uncertainty. Everyone experiences these transitions differently.
My role is to walk alongside you, listen deeply, and support you in finding a way forward at your own pace.
My own experiences of profound loss, including child bereavement, allow me to bring empathy and hope as we explore the possibility of positive change or new beginnings.

Do you find yourself questioning whether you're good enough, putting others' needs before your own, or frightened that people won’t like you if you ask for what you really want?

Hi, I’m Dr Ania, a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, Existential Psychotherapist and EMDR therapist. For many years I have sat alongside people through some of the most difficult chapters of their lives. Often there is a ‘before’ and ‘after’ – trauma, loss, illness, infertility or profound change. But sometimes nothing dramatic has happened: life simply no longer feels quite right, something seems to be missing, or questions about meaning, identity and how you want to live have become impossible to ignore. I bring extensive clinical training, but also the understanding that comes from being human and having lived a life of my own.

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.
