Counselling
Mind Over Cancer provides free counselling to anyone who fits our service criteria.
Counselling is a process in which allows people to explore personal thoughts, feelings and problems to help identify solutions.
Talking therapies give a person a safe place to talk, think and explore emotions and feelings and plays a key part in supporting people’s mental health and wellbeing.
Finding the right model of counselling that will help you and a therapist that you enjoy working with is the key to therapy being a success. We don’t all think the same and we don’t all get on with each other, and so taking time to understand what you want from therapy is crucial.

The counsellor will show skills of listening, holding the silence, reflecting, empathy, immediacy, exploring, questioning, clarifying, summarising and paraphrasing.
Remember, if you don’t get on with your counsellor it’s ok to ask to see someone else. We’re not born into this world to get on with everyone and it’s natural that we won’t. For therapy to work, it’s essential you develop a strong and positive relationship with your counsellor. A therapist won’t be upset if you want to change, they’ll only want the best outcome for you.
We work with the counselling service JHD Counselling, who are based in Cambridge, with over 30 counsellors with training and experience in a variety of areas. JHD provide an immediate service and pride themselves in matching the client to the right therapist to achieve the best outcome.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, like all counselling services in the UK, JHD Counselling had to find new way to reach their clients. Having seen the positive impacts providing therapy online can have, Mind Over Cancer & JHD are continuing with this virtual approach to counselling. This allows us to provide talking therapies to clients in spaces of their own choosing and wherever they feel most comfortable. This also helps us to expand our reach further as soon as possible, without impacting the service that is provided to each individual. Crucially, this keeps the charities costs down allowing us to fund more direct 1-2-1 support to the people who need it most.
You can apply for either individual or family therapy. Up to 10 sessions offered per person (travel costs not included). Reaching patients and families across East Anglia. This service offers a variety of approaches for therapy including on-line and telephone options.
