At Mind. Body. Bedroom., I believe that cancer affects more than just the body — it touches every part of a person’s life, including their emotions, identity, relationships, and sense of security. The specialised counselling service is designed to walk alongside individuals and their families from the moment of diagnosis, throughout treatment, and well into survivorship.
Led by a qualified Clinical Nurse Specialist in Breast Care with post graduate qualifications I breast oncology and counselling, the practice offers compassionate, client-centred support tailored to the unique needs of those facing breast cancer. I understand the emotional impact of hearing the words “you have cancer” and the complex journey that follows. Counselling provides a safe, confidential space to express fears, navigate uncertainty, manage changing relationships, and develop coping strategies for the challenges ahead.
The counselling service at Mind. Body. Bedroom. extends beyond the individual, offering guidance and emotional support to family members and carers who are often navigating their own distress while supporting their loved one. I help families communicate more openly, understand treatment effects, and cope with the shifts in roles and emotions that cancer inevitably brings.
From adjusting to body image changes and loss of confidence, to dealing with anxiety, grief, or treatment-related trauma, my holistic approach ensures emotional wellbeing is prioritised at every stage. Counselling is also available for when treatment phases are complete, supporting individuals to manage survivorship challenges, fear of recurrence, and life transitions after active care.
This practise specialises in supporting individuals navigating life during and after a breast cancer diagnosis through the following services:
You’ll find warmth, empathy, and professional guidance from someone who truly understands the complexities of a breast cancer journey — not just as a clinician, but as a compassionate, supportive ally.
