“Helping patients regain their confidence is deeply rewarding”
Transitioning from acute cancer care to daily life can be daunting for many patients, but Cork ARC Cancer Support House is there to help.
In her role as a Survivorship Development Coordinator with Cork ARC Cancer Support House, Katrina Falvey brings more than 20 years’ experience as an oncology nurse across a broad spectrum of psycho-oncology, medical, radiation oncology and clinical trials. Driven to enhance client-focused cancer survivorship services, she is currently completing a Masters in Positive Health Coaching, adding to her diploma in Positive Health, and geared toward empowering cancer survivors to live a full and meaningful life.
“As a Positive Health Coach I work in partnership with clients integrating approaches from Positive Psychology, Lifestyle Medicine and Coaching Psychology,” she explains. “My expertise lies in working with clients who are diagnosed with cancer, recovering from cancer, or living with cancer as a chronic illness requiring ongoing treatment. Positive Health Coaching is a fusion of two specialities — Lifestyle medicine and Positive Psychology, which I believe addresses the holistic needs of individuals with cancer.”
