This is very true. Sometimes we are fortunate enough to get “the other side of the medical treatment” of cancer, but an entire new journey starts there.

Sometimes in life we can get trapped in our own minds. I find this image fascinating, in that we really don't realise our own strength. We can do anything when we spend sometime assessing the situation and realising this is easier than I have been thinking. #counselling

Sometimes making the jump is so difficult we decide to stay safe and not do it, then end up living with regret, Emotions often control our decisions, when really what are the facts that make us consider jumping in the first place? #counselling #emituons #therapy #mentalhealth

National TV debut this morning on BBC News breakfast. Such a critical subject that’s often overlooked for cancer patients and their finances. Much more information coming I believe on Radio 4 at 12:04 today. #cancer #finances #benefits

We've had a busy few weeks sharing the #kidneycancer patient perspective to help ensure their needs are met. We recently talked at the East of England Urological Nurse meeting, this was a great opportunity to share how we can help them, and help support kidney cancer patients.

This is something that is long overdue in football. Well done @CPFC

Crystal Palace have become the first club to offer an aftercare programme for released players that don't have a future in football. The three-year aftercare package will support released academy players in making a way of life, outside of football. This is a fantastic thing…

As we approach the start of a new year, what are your priorities for 2025? No doubt things will happen in 2025 that we will need to deal with that will be a struggle but if your mental health is in a good place then things become a lot easier. Why not book in a first session?

“I know you’re drowning. You’ll keep sinking for a while, but there will come a point when you’ll hit bottom. Then you’ll have a decision to make. Do you stay there or push off and start to rise again?” A decision that comes to us all at some point and in different circumstances
