Life Limiting Illness & Disease

I have experience and training as a volunteer therapist at St Barnabas Day Hospice in Spalding and Lincoln, Lincolnshire and Sue Ryder Hospice, Thorpe Hall, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. 

At the Hospice and in my private practice I have worked and supported patients with Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Emphysema and Motor Neurone Disease. The time to talk and be listened to, to regain some sense of control and to express their feelings in a safe, confidential space is rarely available these days, yet I believe it is essential when trying to manage a difficult situation and illness. Whilst at St Barnabas I attended several courses including Cancer Awareness and Communicating with the Dying and their Families. These courses have been invaluable in providing an insight  and understanding into the life limiting illness and disease.

I am an accredited Cruse Bereavement and Pre-Bereavement Counsellor and an associate member of Complementary Cancer Therapies, a group of practitioners spread across North Cambridgeshire/Rutland/South West Lincolnshire areas, who have an interest in helping people affected by Cancer.

Testimonials:

I think for me it was the whole experience – a quiet time and a chance to re-charge my batteries. Kay’s calm and gentle approach and her obvious genuine interest in my well-being was much appreciated.

My GP suggested I try counselling after a cancer diagnosis. I was feeling scared, confused and angry. Kay offered me a chance to talk through my inner most fears without judgement,
and her empathy and support enabled me to cope during a most difficult and challenging time.
