Gentle, Specialist Hypnotherapy & Emotional Support for People Affected by Cancer
Helping you feel calmer, more supported and more in control during and after your cancer journey.
A cancer diagnosis can change everything.
Alongside your medical treatment, you may be dealing with anxiety, fear, sleepless nights, scanxiety, uncertainty about the future or simply the emotional exhaustion of having to cope with so much.
You don't have to put on a brave face all the time.
I'm Yvette, a qualified Medical & Clinical Hypnotherapist and Certified Hypno-oncology Practitioner. Alongside my private practice, I work weekly with a local cancer charity, supporting people affected by cancer. I offer gentle, personalised online hypnotherapy and emotional support, allowing you to receive support from the comfort and privacy of your own home.
You are more than your diagnosis.
How I can support you
Cancer affects everyone differently. You may be struggling with anxiety, sleep, treatment-related symptoms, fear of recurrence or simply finding it difficult to adjust to everything that has changed.
Together, we can explore what you're experiencing and develop techniques that may help you feel calmer and more able to cope.
Anxiety & "Scanxiety"
Feeling anxious before scans, appointments or receiving results is incredibly common.
Learn techniques to help calm your mind and manage the physical effects of anxiety.
Sleep & Relaxation
When your mind is constantly worrying, sleep can become difficult.
Learn relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques that you can continue using between sessions.
Coping with Treatment
Cancer treatment can be physically and emotionally demanding.
Hypnotherapy can provide complementary support alongside your medical care, helping you develop ways of coping with stress, discomfort and treatment-related challenges.
Fear of Recurrence & Uncertainty
Finishing treatment doesn't necessarily mean the worry disappears.
If you're struggling with fear about the future or becoming anxious whenever you notice a change in your body, we can work together on ways of managing those thoughts.
Rebuilding Confidence & Control
Cancer can leave you feeling that your life is no longer in your hands.
Our sessions can give you a safe space to reconnect with yourself, your strengths and your sense of control.
Why choose Restorative Creativity?
Specialist experience
I have specialist training in hypno-oncology and work weekly with a local cancer charity, alongside my private practice.
A personal understanding
My own experience of losing my mum to terminal cancer has given me a deep personal understanding of how profoundly cancer can affect individuals and families.
Gentle and individual
There is no "right" way to feel about cancer. Your sessions are tailored to you, your circumstances and what you need at that particular point in your journey.
From the comfort of your own home
All of my specialist cancer-support sessions are offered online, so you can receive support without travelling to another appointment.
You don't have to be positive all the time
You may have been told to "stay positive".
But sometimes you're frightened.
Sometimes you're angry.
Sometimes you're exhausted.
Sometimes you simply don't know how you're going to get through the next week.
You don't need to pretend everything is fine when you talk to me.
My aim is to provide a calm, compassionate space where you can be completely yourself and learn practical techniques to support your emotional wellbeing.
A free, no-obligation chat
You may be wondering whether hypnotherapy could help you, or whether online therapy is right for you.
That's exactly what the initial consultation is for.
We'll spend 15 minutes talking about what you're experiencing. You can ask questions, tell me what's worrying you and decide whether you'd feel comfortable working with me.
There's no obligation to book a session.
You don't have to navigate this alone.
If you'd like to talk, I'm here to listen.
Resources to support you
Sometimes you aren't ready for therapy — and that's okay.
Restorative Creativity also provides therapeutic resources, including relaxation audios, creative writing journals and e-books that you can explore privately, at your own pace.
