John Castleford
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MIAEB, FRAI
I have been a psychotherapist and mental health coach for many years, and I now specialise almost exclusively in helping those with, or recovering from, cancer. It's a debilitating disease that I have experienced twice, so I know at first hand the effect it can have on the quality of life and particularly how it makes us feel -- either as a reaction to being diagnosed and undergoing treatment, or when in remission as a survivor, the fear of it recurring.
I can also help family members and close friends, who often feel helpless bystanders.
We have all experienced our feelings dominating what we think, and what we do. But heightened emotions stop us thinking clearly. And that can often lead us to feel out of control.
Unlike many therapists, I do not believe that the adverse effect on our thinking and our behaviour from a life-changing event like cancer is a dysfunctional flaw or a disorder that needs treatment. Typical reactions to cancer --anxiety, fear, stress and low mood -- are part of life. Why cancer often triggers is a range of reactions: shock and denial; Shock and denial that it is happening. Coping with fear, anxiety and panic can be difficult, particularly as mood swings may frequently change. Feelings of sadness may range from low moof to extreme depression.
Ultimately we know, at a rational level, that we are mortal. But we also have we also have a very strong instinct to survive. We want to live. And enjoy life. Cancer is not the death sentence it once was.
I can help you come to terms with the reality as well as the inevitable perceptions that may influence you. And I can help you to flourish, rather than just cope and survive.

Suzanne
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns
I offer a steady, compassionate presence as we explore your inner world together, getting to know the parts of you that have worked hard to keep you safe, and gently uncovering the deeper patterns that may have shaped how you move through life.
My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic approaches, which means we work with both the mind and the body. Together, we create the safety and space needed to turn toward what's happening inside — with curiosity rather than judgment.
Many of the people I work with are navigating self-doubt, relationship challenges, stress, or long-held emotional patterns — including the weight of generational burdens carried quietly over the years. Whether you're coming as an individual or as a couple, I honour the courage it takes to begin this work.
I work with: Adults (individuals) and couples
Areas of focus: Inner critic, self-doubt, relationship challenges, stress, generational trauma, emotional patterns
