Holistic Life & Cancer Coach - Dr. Jo Lee

Jo Lee trained as a life coach after working as a GP partner for 12 years. Life Coaching is a talking therapy focused on helping people to make changes to benefit their wellbeing. The approach is holistic and any area of life can be the focus of the work. Some people will feel very clear about what they want to change and others may just have a sense that something is not right and may need help to explore what their priorities are. The process may involve exercises to facilitate new perspectives on individual problems.

In 2008, Jo co-founded LYLAC: Live Your Life After Cancer for people who are struggling to find a way forward after cancer. LYLAC provides individual coaching and group workshops for men and women with any cancer diagnosis. Jo loves to work with people to help them to feel empowered and ready to find their own ‘right’ way forward.

Cancer Coaching provides support and an effective way to assist people in dealing with the impact of cancer on their lives. As well as affecting people physically, cancer may also cause depression, anxiety and loss of confidence, challenge relationships and affect peoples’ working lives. After treatment, people often feel vulnerable, unsupported and overwhelmed. The Coaching relationship supports people in processing their experience, increasing awareness, and reassessing priorities, with the focus on finding a good way forward, which will be different for each person.
