Wellbeing

The physical and emotional impact of a cancer diagnosis and its treatment can be very difficult to cope with. Some people find that using complementary therapies alongside conventional treatment can help them to manage their stress and anxiety before, during and after treatment.

Complementary Therapies

Complementary therapies work alongside conventional medical treatments and can be used to help improve psychological and emotional wellbeing as well as reducing the impact of treatment-related side effects.

Finding a therapist

If you’re considering using complementary therapies, always choose a qualified therapist and inform your medical team of any therapies you are using.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a psychological, self-help therapy involving being aware moment-to-moment of your subjective consciousness that can be developed using meditational practices.
