Cancer Support
Are you struggling to cope with Cancer? We’re here for you.
Coping with cancer, whether directly or indirectly, can be difficult for us all.
You may be dealing with cancer and going through treatment yourself, you may be fearful of a previous cancer returning, or you may have a loved one who is going through cancer treatment and you want to be able to support them in the best way possible through this troubling and traumatic time.
Maybe you are feeling low after your diagnosis or anxious at the prospect of what the future might hold, or you are feeling overwhelmed with adjusting to life after cancer treatment. At NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Talking Therapies, we provide a range of evidence-based talking therapies to support you if you are struggling with the effects of cancer. You will work with a qualified therapist to work through your thoughts and feelings.
We can support you with new ways of coping, tools and resources to help you manage your mood. Our therapy options include CBT and mindfulness based programmes for health. All of our therapies can be provided via secure video, text-based therapy, webinar, phone or in-person.
