Support during cancer – for patients and relatives
A cancer diagnosis changes everything.
Not only the body — the whole of life, relationships, the picture you have of yourself.
Many people go through moments in which what they have relied on so far no longer holds.
That is not a weakness. Familiar inner strategies often simply do not carry in this situation.
Psycho-oncological support creates a space for what finds no other place during this time — fear, exhaustion, anger, grief, existential questions.
It is not about coping with something “correctly”.
It is about finding your own way of dealing with the situation, one that holds.
That can mean:
- dealing with shock and uncertainty after the diagnosis
- dealing with exhaustion and loss of control during treatment
- dealing with physical changes and a changed picture of yourself
- dealing with what the illness sets off in a relationship and in the family
- or with questions that cannot be answered — and are there all the same.
I work systemically and resource-oriented.
That means: not deficits at the centre, but what holds — what is still there, what has helped, what is possible.
Hypnotherapeutic elements can help to find access to inner stability when the mind alone does not get you further.
Psycho-oncological support is explicitly for relatives as well.
Partners, children, people close by — they carry a burden of their own that rarely gets enough room.
That applies during the illness — and in the grief afterwards.
Conversations can take place individually or together.
A first appointment is often possible at short notice — the more flexible your hours, the sooner. In many cases sessions online are also possible — particularly when travelling is a strain or more flexibility is needed.
The costs are not covered by German statutory health insurance. If your financial situation makes support difficult, please say so. I deliberately keep capacity free for people for whom the full fee would be an obstacle — at an amount that is possible.
If you have the impression that support could help — get in touch.
