You don't have to figure this out alone
Start with a free 15-minute chat, then book a 60-minute session at a pace that suits you. Ongoing support is available in 30 or 60-minute slots whenever you need them.
No forms. No pressure. Just a calm, honest conversation about what you're facing and how specialist nurse support might help.
What to Expect
How Side by Side Works
A simple, three-step path — from your first free chat to ongoing specialist support.
15-Minute Introductory Chat
15 minutes · Free
A calm, no-pressure conversation to tell me where you are and what feels most urgent. We will talk through your situation and decide together whether specialist nurse support is the right fit for you.
60-Minute Comprehensive Session
60 minutes · Paid
Your first full session is a 60-minute comprehensive care mapping appointment. We review your diagnosis, treatment plan, medical paperwork, and the questions keeping you up at night — building a clear picture together.
Ongoing Support Sessions
30 or 60 minutes · Paid
After your initial session, ongoing support is available in either 30-minute or 60-minute slots — whichever fits your needs. Book sessions before appointments, after difficult news, or simply when you need help thinking clearly.
Session Details
All sessions are delivered securely online via video, from wherever you are in the UK. After your initial 60-minute session, you can book ongoing support in the slot size that suits you.
What's Included: Post-Session Support
All individual sessions include 7 days of complimentary messaging support, so you can ask follow-up questions, clarify next steps, or seek reassurance as you begin putting your plan into action.
This is direct, personal support — not automated responses — designed to help you feel informed, supported, and confident after your session.
Please Note: To ensure safety and a comprehensive assessment of your needs, all new clients must complete a 60-minute comprehensive session first. 30-minute follow-up slots become available after your initial session is complete.
Private Medical Insurance
We are registered with a number of private medical insurers. If you'd like to find out more about whether your policy applies, we'd be happy to discuss the process with you during your free 15 minute chat.

When the Path Gets More Complex
Navigating Recurrent or Secondary Cancer
Finding out that cancer has returned or progressed brings a completely different kind of exhaustion and heartbreak. The choices you face now—from looking at clinical trials and second opinions to adjusting to advanced treatment pathways—can feel infinitely more complex than your first diagnosis.
If you are dealing with a recurrent disease, you need a safe space to slow down and map out what comes next. I am here to help you unpack your new options in plain English, prepare you for difficult consultant reviews, and help you find the right language to advocate for the exact quality of life and care that you want.
Standing by you with continuous, unhurried clinical guidance when things feel most uncertain.
Demystifying Clinical Trials & Other Treatment Options
When standard cancer treatments are no longer providing the results you need, looking into clinical trials can offer a vital new path forward. However, the clinical trial system is incredibly complex, and finding open studies or understanding eligibility rules on your own can feel completely overwhelming.
Drawing from my direct experience in oncology clinical trials, I help take the mystery out of the process. While I do not enroll you in trials directly, I work alongside you and your family to look at what options might be available for your specific diagnosis. I will help you understand the complex medical criteria, translate the experimental protocols into plain English, and prepare you to have informed, proactive conversations with your consultant about accessing cutting-edge care.
Helping you explore every possible avenue with clarity and confidence.
