Cancer Coach – support for you when treatment ends
Page last updated
For many people diagnosed with cancer, the period of post treatment can be as difficult as the treatment itself.
Patients often struggle to adapt to life after cancer and anxiety and depression are common emotions which can be surprising and difficult to manage.
‘Cancer Coach’ is a 6 week online and telephone support group, developed in partnership with The Mental Health Foundation.
‘Cancer Coach’ is a unique service that focuses solely on providing post treatment support for people living beyond their cancer diagnosis, where participants access support from the comfort and privacy of their own home, removing many of the barriers that are often experienced when treatment ends.
Another benefit of ‘Cancer Coach’ is that it brings people with a shared experience together, where comfort and reassurance is given through peer support.
The service is free of charge and is available to anyone aged 18 years or over with any cancer type, living anywhere in the U.K.
Participants can choose whether they would like to join an online or a phone group, and can choose between a daytime or an evening group.
We also offer a Men’s group for any men who have been affected by cancer.
Self-referrals are quick and easy - fill in the form on our website.
