This service, at Agnes Jones House, was of huge benefit to me, having been referred by my OT, post bilateral mastectomy.
After my initial appointment with Dr Ania, I was then invited to a group session course run over 4 weeks. This small group of 6, all with different experiences of cancer treatments, were perfectly put together by the service. Everyone felt very much at ease talking about their experiences without judgment and in confidence.
Dr Tracey particularly gave me many skills to call upon when I feel my thoughts or emotions are in need of help. She did this by explaining in depth how these coping mechanisms can be useful.
The group sessions were facilitated by both Dr Tracey and Dr Ania, and they both made everything on the session day stress free.
My follow up appointments were a great opportunity to round up everything we had covered in the group course. And clarify if any further appointments were needed.
Thank you to the team.!
