My Cancer My Choices offers six free complementary therapies for individuals living with cancer in Berkshire and surrounding areas, supported by donations to sustain our vital services.

Anxiety. Sleeplessness. Hot flushes. Just needing some time out.

People have all sorts of reasons for having a complementary therapy.

Whatever your reasons, you’ll receive a caring treatment in a calm, supportive environment. Each therapy is provided by our award-winning team of volunteers who are not only trained in their respective fields but also deeply committed to supporting cancer patients on their journey. Our therapists are vetted to volunteer in the NHS, have satisfied government DBS checks, and undergone NHS Cancer Patient Pathway training, ensuring the highest standard of care for our service users.

Empowering you to feel and be the best you can.

We understand that cancer doesn’t just affect you physically, it has an emotional impact as well. Our treatments are tailored to you and your individual needs, and aim to support your physical and emotional wellbeing.  

It’s your time. You decide how you want to use it.
