Is this for you?
You may recognise yourself here if…
Treatment has ended, but life doesn’t feel back to normal.
Fear of recurrence and uncertainty feel exhausting to carry.
Ongoing symptoms, fatigue or health worries are difficult to make sense of.
You’re facing difficult treatment or recovery decisions.
Illness has placed strain on relationships or family life.
You want thoughtful support, not pressure or forced positivity.
About Chris
The path that shaped this work
For more than 30 years I've worked with people navigating the physical, psychological and human realities of health, illness and recovery.
I began my career as a chiropractor, but over time became increasingly interested in a bigger question: why do some people remain stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected even when the clinical picture appears to improve?
That question led me beyond symptom-focused care into psychology, mindfulness and the wider human dimensions of health and recovery.
Then in 2016, cancer made those questions deeply personal.
Following my own cancer diagnosis and treatment, I experienced first-hand the uncertainty, disruption and challenges that often remain long after treatment ends.
The perspective I bring today has been shaped by both professional experience and lived experience, and by a recognition that illness affects far more than the body alone.
