Complementary therapies work with the person as a whole, treating the client on a physical and emotional level. This is called a holistic approach. Complementary therapies may help you feel better, give you a sense of control over what is happening to you, reduce stress, tension, sleeplessness, anxiety and depression, and make you feel more relaxed. If you are being treated for cancer, complementary therapies may help to reduce some of the symptoms, such as pain, feeling sick, breathlessness, tiredness and poor appetite.
Coping with Cancer has a team of therapists who are experienced in treating those affected by cancer and are able to offer an extensive range of therapies. Treatments usually take place at Helen Webb House, although we can sometimes arrange home visits.
Complementary therapies are also available at our ‘Time Out’ drop-in groups.
Our complementary therapy service is free of charge, however if you feel that you have benefitted from your treatment and you are able to make a donation, we are always grateful for your support which ensures we can keep providing this service to local people affected by cancer. Please ask your therapist for more details.
