You don't have to face it alone
Cancer can affect every part of life, emotionally as well as physically. Whether you're facing a diagnosis, going through treatment, adjusting to life afterwards or supporting someone you love, you deserve support too.
Our counselling support aims to provide a safe space to talk, process your feelings and navigate the challenges cancer can bring.
Cancer affects everyone differently. We want people to know that support is available for more than just the person receiving treatment.
Cancer can affect many aspects of your life, and everyone processes the experience differently.
Counselling can offer a supportive space to explore your feelings and work through the challenges you may be facing, including:
You don't need to know exactly what to say or have everything figured out before reaching out.

Georgina is a personal friend and long-time supporter of Unmask Cancer. Having attended and volunteered at several of our events, she has been part of our community for a long time, and we’re delighted to have her supporting our mission in this new way.
Her existing connection with Unmask Cancer makes this a particularly special partnership, and we’re excited to help make emotional support more accessible to those affected by cancer.
We know how important it is to feel heard, understood and supported, and we’re proud to be working with Georgina to help people navigate the emotional impact of cancer.
She is a qualified therapeutic counsellor. I offer one to one counselling for both children 11+ and adults. These can be face to face or online, on a short- or long-term basis.
I work with individuals and couples to provide an environment that is warm, non-judgemental, confidential, safe and secure. This is where I can help you to explore difficult issues you may be experiencing or unable to discuss with those closest to you. I will work collaboratively with you, giving support and aid so you can gain a deeper understanding on any concerns and help bring about positive change to move forward.
My style of counselling is integrative which enables me to tailor my approach using a variety of theories, skills and tools to support my clients and to suit individual needs. I prefer to use integrative therapy which is a broad overview of all theories in one. This helps us to draw on the psychodynamic, cognitive (CBT) and humanistic fields of practice to assist you to reach your goals, your best self and live the life that you would like to.
Unmask Cancer will fund an initial six counselling sessions for eligible individuals.
Once your enquiry has been reviewed, we’ll put you in touch with Georgina, who will arrange your sessions with you directly.
After your six sessions have been completed, we’ll revisit your needs together and discuss the next steps and any further support that may be available.
Our aim is to support everyone affected by cancer, not just the person diagnosed.
This may include people undergoing treatment, those adjusting to life after cancer, and family members, partners or friends affected by a loved one's diagnosis.
No. The emotional impact of cancer doesn't necessarily end when treatment finishes.
You may be coping with a recent diagnosis, navigating treatment, adjusting to life afterwards or supporting someone you love.
You are welcome to enquire about the support available to you.
There is no single right way to feel when cancer affects your life.
You may want to talk about anxiety, uncertainty, relationships, body image, grief, fear of recurrence or simply how you're feeling.
You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
