Cancer Counselling
Cancer Counselling:
Previously, working with The Gawler Cancer Foundation, my role included counselling clients who were newly diagnosed with cancer or re-diagnosed with a secondary cancer or recurrence.
With my background of Occupational Therapy, I continue to offer cancer and lifestyle counselling his area of lifestyle counselling, aiming to reduce stress and really empower clients in their knowledge of their individual healing journey choices. I also lead and teach mindfulness-stillness meditation and relaxation techniques (see Meditation Group information) including the progressive muscular relaxation which many find so helpful for sleep issues.
Also, the use of Guided Imagery within a relaxed state can be enormously beneficial for the person diagnosed with cancer.
Guided Imagery has been shown to:
- Reduce fear and decrease feelings of helplessness when first diagnosed
- Reduce depression and instil confidence when one is feeling lost
- Reduce stress and tension at a time when the body needs it most
- Enhance immune response function & assist the bodys healing mechanisms
- Help manage pain
- Deepen intuitive skills to enable better choices
- Deepen ones will to live, an important factor in any prognosis
And in relation to my Hypnosis work – the cancer sufferer can be assisted with:
- Insomnia
- Anticipatory Nausea
- Relaxation Techniques
- Pain Management
- Clearing past trauma to ease the mind – it is common for people with cancer to have experienced trauma or chronic stress
