Blooming through adversity: the healing power of therapy in cancer support

A cancer diagnosis is much more than a medical issue. It is a profound psychological event that reshapes a person’s sense of self, their relationships, and their future.‍ The emotional toll extends beyond the individual to their loved ones, who also find themselves navigating feelings of fear, uncertainty, and often grief.‍ At the different stages of a cancer journey—diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship - the psychological needs of the patient will vary. Psychotherapy plays a crucial role in addressing the challenges that arise, offering individuals and their families the tools to cope, to process emotions, and to find meaning in their experience.
