Vicky: My Cavendish in 25 Words

To celebrate our 25^th year, our staff, therapists, volunteers and board have shared 25 words about what Cavendish Cancer Care means to them.

Vicky Gaughan:

Vicky has been a body psychotherapist since 1994. She has a Bsc in Therapeutic Counselling, an MA in Psychological Therapies and also practices and teaches Hakomi. Vicky is a member of the European Association of Body Psychotherapists. Vicky has been involved in the Cavendish Centre since 2005. ‘A client recently shared that she’d found a refuge inside, this I think came about because Cavendish is an external refuge’.

Here are Vicky’s 25 words about what Cavendish means to her:

A safe container to hold it all; dark thoughts, unspeakable words, release pent-up feelings. A refuge to be: without judgement or pressure and with understanding.
