Welcome, I’m Meiron Lees.
I’m sorry you’re facing health challenges, and even though we haven’t met, I empathise with how you’re feeling.
Why? Because I’ve been in your shoes.
Here’s a bit of my story.
For years, I was the epitome of health—fit, strong, and illness-free. Until 2011, when the unexpected struck: I was diagnosed with aggressive Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
Suddenly, my life as I knew it had changed.
The road to recovery was long and arduous, with many bumps in the road. With so much uncertainty about my survival, my resilience was tested at every turn.
The irony is that, just 18 months earlier, I was travelling the world, promoting my award-winning book, “D-Stress, Building Resilience in Challenging Times.” It was the practical tools and strategies in my book that helped me overcome the biggest challenge of my life.
Eleven years post-recovery, my mission has shifted. Driven by passion, I now dedicate myself to guiding patients and their caregivers through the tumultuous path of illness.
With firsthand experience and insights on managing illness, I’m here to help you build resilience, develop coping mechanisms, and find strength, acceptance, and inner peace.
In our sessions, I will help with:
- Emotional Support: A safe space to express your emotions and receive empathy, compassion and understanding.
- Stress Reduction: Techniques to lessen illness-related stress, enhancing well-being.
- Coping Strategies: Tools to manage stress, anxiety, and depression related to illness.
- Empowerment: Encouraging individuals to take an active role in their healthcare and build strength and courage.
- Resilience: Enhancing resilience and bouncing back from setbacks and challenges.
- Hope: Fostering a sense of hope and optimism.
- Family Support: Providing support and education for family members of individuals with illness.
Illness is a complex and emotional journey, laden with fears and intense challenges. In the face of such adversity, seeking support through illness counselling can serve as a guiding light, offering a sanctuary where you can find solace, understanding, and empowerment.
