Cancer Counselling & Support

A cancer diagnosis and its treatment can affect every part of life — emotionally, psychologically, and relationally. Even when treatment has finished, many people find that the emotional impact can linger.

You may appear to be coping on the outside, while internally feeling anxious, low, disconnected, or overwhelmed. There can be pressure to "get back to normal," even when life no longer feels the same.

I offer counselling and psychotherapy for adults affected by cancer, including those currently in treatment, post-treatment, or adjusting to life after cancer, as well as partners and family members who may also be struggling.

You might be experiencing:

• Anxiety, fear, or panic (including fear of recurrence or scan-related anxiety)

• Low mood, emotional numbness, or exhaustion

• Trauma responses linked to diagnosis, treatment, or hospital experiences

• Difficulty sleeping or switching off

• Changes in identity, confidence, or sense of self

• Relationship strain, or feeling isolated or misunderstood

• Waves of grief, anger, or sadness

• Pressure to feel grateful or positive when you don't

If any of this resonates, it makes sense — and you don't have to manage it alone.

Sessions are available in-person in Dún Laoghaire / South Dublin and online. To enquire about sessions, email mindworthytherapy@gmail.com with your availability and whether you prefer online or in-person.
