In many cases, cancer is a significant burden for those affected and their relatives and can impact all areas of life. Our Center for Psycho-oncology, run by Dr Magdalena Maria Berkhoff, offers help.
Psycho-oncological psychotherapy can help adults, adolescents and children overcome the following symptoms:
› Feelings of fear, grief, loss of a loved one, loneliness, helplessness and feeling overwhelmed
› Insomnia, depression, nervousness, inner restlessness
› Tiredness, lack of energy and joylessness
› Problems with physical changes
› Marriage, partnership or family problems, or high expectations of oneself
› Problems in the workplace, with colleagues, supervisors or expectations of oneself
› Dealing with changes in sexuality
