Cancer Support Counselling & Somatic Therapy – Bondi Junction, Sydney (Online Australia-wide)

 The emotional, physical, and relational impacts of a cancer diagnosis or treatment can be complex and far‑reaching - not only for the person diagnosed, but also for their family and support network.

My approach aims to meet you exactly where you are, in a supportive, non-clinical, person‑centred way that values your autonomy, prioritises your unique needs, and collaborates with you to explore the choices, goals, and approaches that feel most meaningful and empowering. This approach offers complementary support alongside your existing care team. 

• You are living with a cancer diagnosis and seeking emotional and psychological support.
  
• You are navigating treatment or post-treatment related stress, uncertainty, or overwhelm.
  
• You’re experiencing changes in identity, energy, relationships, or daily functioning at any stage — diagnosis, treatment, or recovery.
  
• You may feel disconnected from your body, exhausted, or caught between fear, hope, and the demands of potential ongoing medical care.
  
• You seek guidance to cope with stress, reduce anxiety, and regain a sense of safety and relative comfort.
  
• You are a caregiver or family member who needs support coping with the practical or emotional impacts of a loved one’s diagnosis.
  

My approach is person-centred and values your autonomy, meeting you exactly where you are. Using counselling and somatic techniques, we explore how your cancer experience may have shaped you.

Through reflective dialogue, mind-body awareness, grounding, and compassionate witnessing, this approach fosters insight and self-understanding. Supporting coping, adaptive engagement and emotional presence. 

• Sessions run for 60 minutes and are available both in-person (Sydney) and online.
  
• We generally begin with weekly sessions to build continuity and safety, with frequency reviewed as your needs change.
  
•  Your first session focuses on information gathering: understanding your past, how anxiety shows up in your life, and what changes you’d like to create. 

It depends. Reach out for a free 15 minute chat on whether you can benefit from a session.

If you connect with any of the below, you may benefit from these somatic therapy sessions:

• Adults (18+) navigating any stage of the cancer journey — diagnosis, treatment, post‑treatment adjustment, or recovery.
  
• Individuals seeking an embodied, compassionate approach to coping with the emotional and physical impacts of cancer.
  
• Caregivers needing support managing stress, uncertainty, or anticipatory grief.
  
• Not suitable as a crisis service or for clinical diagnosis; complementary support is offered alongside medical and psychological care.

Through reflective dialogue, mind-body awareness, and grounding, we support coping, interactive engagement, and emotional presence.
