Workshop : Working with cancer – towards a new understanding

This workshop in St Albans aims to examine and discuss how counselling can be beneficial in ameliorating the distress evoked by a diagnosis of cancer and, through the treatment process.
Including how therapeutic support can assist individuals and families in providing stable, effective support necessary to enhance coping and adjustment.

It seems to me that cancer is a sequence of events, beginning with a diagnosis. This is a crucial event,in that the way the news is communicated can produce huge fear and uncertainties; the workshop will look at the myriad of emotions that can shape the way patients deal with their illness.

I will be joined briefly on the day by Dr Cordelia Galgut, author of The Psychological Impact of Breast Cancer, a Psychologist’s Insights as a Patient.
Cordelia will talk, and lead a discussion based on her extensive experience as both patient and therapist.

Date : For the next workshop date please contact me.
