Rediscovering Your Identity After Cancer

92% of adults find life after cancer harder than treatment. If you’re finding this part tough, you’re not alone.

At Life after Cancer, we offer free support to help you navigate the challenges that often arise once treatment ends, including fear of recurrence, identity shifts, brain fog, relationship changes, and figuring out what matters now.

You can connect with others who’ve had cancer through expert-led sessions, peer support groups, coaching workshops, and our 6-week group programme – all delivered by trained coaches with personal cancer experience, or by leading experts in life after cancer, such as doctors, psychologists, clinicians, and researchers.

98% of our community members say they feel less isolated and experience improved mental wellbeing after attending our services.

About This Workshop

Life after cancer can leave you feeling different in ways that are hard to explain. Many people tell us they don’t feel like the person they were before treatment and find it difficult to describe what has changed. This is a common part of life after treatment, and it can be an opportunity to look at what feels true for you now and what matters moving forward.

In this interactive one hour workshop, you’ll look at different layers of your identity through guided prompts and exercises. You’ll notice what has stayed the same, what has changed, and what new parts of yourself are starting to take shape.

In this workshop, you’ll:

• Work through a set of questions designed to help you look at your sense of identity now
• Look at key layers of your identity, including values, roles, habits and aspirations
• Gain tools and resources to help you move forward with more confidence

Research shows that having a clearer sense of identity supports mental wellbeing and helps us feel more connected to ourselves and those around us.

This session offers a supportive space to begin rebuilding your identity in a way that feels right for you today. You’ll leave with practical tools and insights you can keep using after the workshop.
