Stelle’s Holistic Cancer Support
Have you tried traditional counselling & found it didn’t work for you? Are you looking for support that is personalised, meaningful & powerful?
An holistic approach to therapy honours the healing requirements of your entire being - your Mind, Body & Soul. My holistic approach is also heavily founded on the belief that you yourself hold all the answers to the information you seek. I am therefore deeply passionate about helping you learn how to reconnect to yourself & your ✨inner wisdom✨- also referred to as your gut instinct or intuition.
Reconnecting to this part of your inner self can make you feel EMPOWERED! From this place you can make heartfelt, informed & conscious choices that feel deeply right for you. Not because your head thinks you ‘should’ - but because you know deep in your heart that this is what YOU NEED TO DO on your unique journey 💕

What is your Cancer Journey?
-
I can not even begin to imagine how you are feeling right now… but I do know that you can lean on me. Are you feeling shaken & disoriented by all the chaos? Are you overwhelmed by all the medical terminology? Let me help explain everything to you in a way that you understand so that you can feel more empowered on the journey that lies ahead.
Together we can work towards developing a toolkit of strategies - tailored specifically to you - to help you cope with each day of your journey.

Let me hold space for you as you navigate the host of complex emotions you are inevitably experiencing since learning of your little one’s diagnosis.
A caregiver is THE most important role in a patient’s journey. However… as parents, it is also essential that we look after ourselves too. Only when our Mind, Body & Soul ‘Energy Cups’ are full, can we be the best possible caregivers, supporters and providers that our children need. If you would like a safe space to rest and have someone provide comfort and loving practical support for you, then please reach out and contact me. It would be my honour to walk alongside you and help you along your journey.

Maybe you have recently found out that your brother or sister have cancer and so many things have changed since that day! Do you feel sad, upset, scared & confused. Maybe you also feel lonely, jealous, left out & ignored. Do you want someone who you can talk to? I can also help answer any questions you have that might scare you.
Let’s work together to find ways to help you understand what is happening around you and what you can do to help you through this difficult time.

Traditionally, it is a parents’ role to tend to their children. But when our parents fall sick, we can be called into a sudden (& often unexpected) role reversal.
Often as carers, we give so much that we forget to take care of ourselves. Especially if you are parents yourself, you now have the added challenge of balancing multiple caregiving roles! If any of this resonates, then please reach out to me. I would be honoured to support you. Let’s work together to develop a range of different strategies to ensure you don’t ‘burn out’ and find ways for you to nurture yourself, in addition to your caregiving responsibilities.
-
Have you been told that your cancer can not be cured? If so, please make sure that you access all the help you can. Your time here may be shorter than you had hoped for, but you deserve to live the time you have left with the best QUALITY OF LIFE. If you would like help processing all the emotions you are feeling or the decision making process that awaits, reach out for support. It would be my honour to walk alongside you as you process the last chapter of your journey.
-
Grief is complex with no set pattern or timeframe for how long it will take you to process the loss of your loved one. It is important to remember that grief arises from the loss of something that we do not want to give up. So the intense emotional pain and sadness you experience is caused by resisting what is, the despair of lost opportunities and the loss of connection. Know that you will navigate back and forth through each aspect of grief in your own unique way. If you would like loving support as you journey through your process towards decreasing the intensity & frequency of your pain, finding acceptance & recreating a new reality, I am here for you.
Emotional support from diagnosis, through treatment & into recovery
Maybe you need help processing the shock of a recent diagnosis? Are you confused about how to share the diagnosis with family & friends? Maybe you are struggling to find the strength to go on given the physical & emotional fatigue of treatment or your caregiving responsibilities? Perhaps you have conquered cancer and survived but need help recreating your new sense of identity & reintegration into society post-recovery? No matter what stage you are at, I am here to help.
Let’s work together to help you cultivate the courage you need to navigate your unique Cancer Journey.

Online Counselling
⭐️ The most important thing to consider when exploring therapy is to make sure you feel totally safe & comfortable. Therapy located in the comforting and convenient surrounds of your own home can be a very convenient and safe option & a useful support system when
you have a busy schedule which doesn’t allow for travel time to in-person locations
you want help but new environments can make you very nervous & uncomfortable
🍃 Perhaps you can sit in your garden or somewhere with a view of trees for an online nature-immersion session?
