The Bristol Approach, developed by doctors, nurses, therapists and

people with cancer, is a unique combination of complementary therapies

and self-help techniques. It is designed to work alongside medical

treatment and is supported by leading oncologists and others in the

healthcare field.

 

The Bristol Approach:

Is a programme of lifestyle advice, information, complementary therapies

and self-help techniques

Provides support through your treatment and recovery

Supports positive health, physical and psychological wellbeing

Through the courses at Penny Brohn Cancer Care we can help you:

Cope with the emotional aspects of a cancer diagnosis

Manage fear and anxiety

Deal with the specific problems and challenges a cancer diagnosis brings

Manage and reduce symptoms and treatment side-effects

Improve your health and energy

 

With all of this support we have seen that it is possible to change the

way you live with cancer. Individual elements of the Bristol Approach

are shown below. 

 

Specialist support:

Psychotherapy/counselling

" Every time I walked in through the door at the Centre I felt like I

had come home, and the wisdom I learned there is still with me. Now I

make time in the day to reconnect with that part of myself that needs

nurturing. For me it & rsquo;s about putting my health first, before my

to do list. "
