Supporting You Through Cancer
A diagnosis of cancer can turn your world upside down. Whether it’s your own health or that of someone you love, the emotional weight can feel heavy and hard to carry, confusing and extremely overwhelming. At Firefly Counselling, we have counsellors with significant lived-experience in this area who can empathise and guide you through this journey. We understand that dealing with cancer involves more than just the physical challenges — it affects your emotions, your mind, and your sense of hope. We can support you and offer solid practical advice to support the your physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.
From the life-shattering shock of the initial diagnosis, to the rigours of treatment, and the ongoing uncertainty of check-ups and scans, our counsellors are here to journey with you.
The emotional impact of cancer can show up in many ways. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s normal or to understand what you’re experiencing.
Are You Feeling…?
- Crippling fear and uncertainty
- Overwhelmed or exhausted, emotionally or physically
- Anxious about the future or what’s next
- Sad or grieving, even if you’re still in treatment
- Frustrated or angry about your situation
- Guilty or overwhelmed with responsibilities
- Isolated, even when friends and loved ones are nearby
- Physically tired, with sleep or appetite issues that affect your mood
- Hopeless or finding it hard to stay positive
- Numb or unsure how to express your feelings
- Stressed trying to juggle treatment, work, and family
If any of this sounds like what you’re going through, know that you’re not alone. Firefly’s Cancer Counselling can help.
