Enquire about a therapy support for people with cancer and their family and friends
A serious illness and its treatment is almost always a considerable burden for the person affected and their family, affecting all areas of life. A lot of unknowns have to be dealt with, often with the feeling of having to manage it all alone. But one’s own resources are not infinite. Cancer patients must also learn to cope with physical changes. It can be helpful to talk to an outsider about such stresses and strains, and in this way gain new strength.
In addition to purely medical care, such supportive counselling can be an important building block for a successful treatment and a better quality of life.
What is the goal?
This is why the CPT offers patients and their relatives professional therapy support during the treatment period. The services range from individual counselling sessions to psychotherapeutic support.
The aim is to support those affected with counselling, relaxation exercises and creative means for the duration of the therapy.
Our ‘psycho-oncological support’ service is a non-medical offer. It is intended to help improve the quality of life of cancer sufferers and their relatives and reduce the stress caused by the disease.
What does it cost?
The offer is free of charge and requires no administrative effort.
When does the support take place?
The offer is always available, for the entire duration of cancer treatment. The support can be started and ended at any time.
The sessions usually take place once a week in the therapy room at the ZPT. The frequency of the sessions is agreed individually and as required.
Who will provide the support?
Yvonne Mäder is there for clients in a personal dialogue and offers space and time to discuss what is currently on their minds.
She is a federally accredited psychotherapist specialising in psycho-oncology and offers psychological counselling and psychotherapy for adults, adolescents and children as well as their families during proton therapy.
