outreach services meet the team

Rebecca Duthart Specialist Health and Work Practitioner

“As a Specialist Health and Work Practitioner, I work closely with people who are experiencing impact on their working life due to cancer. I enjoy building a relationship with individuals when they are at some of the toughest points in their life, to support them to feel better equipped to manage these challenges. We aim to empower individuals to communicate their needs and come to positive outcomes with their employment. I am particularly looking forward to working with employers to share knowledge and experience to promote compassion and understanding in the workplace. Most of all, I feel lucky to be able to be there for that individual through what can be a really vulnerable time in their life.”

Frankie Rose Group Support Facilitator –Bereavement

“In general people tend to shy away from talking about death, so holding honest and open conversations for people to explore their grief feels like a very privileged position to be in. In group support, it is incredible to witness the bonds people form and the compassion they have for each other even in the presence of their own grief. Having conversations about death is essentially having conversations about life, and working in bereavement support continuously reminds me to appreciate and live my life.”

Dr Marta Correia Counselling Psychologist –Outreach Services

“My name is Marta, and I am a Counselling Psychologist. I work across different teams as part of our outreach services, predominantly in the group programme team, where I cofacilitate our “Fear of Cancer Recurrence” and our “Living with Uncertainty” group programmes. My favourite thing about the groups is seeing how supportive everyone is of each other and how ready and willing they are to normalise how someone else might be feeling and come up with different solutions if someone is feeling particularly stuck. It is truly a privilege to create a space where people feel able to share their worries and their fears, and know that they are not alone, whilst providing them with the tools and skills to make profound changes in their lives.”
