How online support works
Online psychological support for people with cancer is a combination of digital therapy delivered via the app and personal support. You’ll be assigned a range of exercises tailored to your needs, e.g. breathing exercises, mindfulness practices and mental training, across 22 sessions. You’ll answer questions about your mood and keep a diary of your symptoms. The app also features videos, articles and real-life cancer patient stories.
Recommended time required
Online support is available to you free of charge for 12 months. A single session takes approximately 15-20 minutes. You’ll get the best results by also using the app in-between sessions to do exercises, keep track of your symptoms or read patient stories.
Optional telecoaching from a professional
In addition to online support, users have the option of receiving 5 sessions of over-the-phone support from a psychologist during those 12 months. A single telecoaching session lasts for about 20 minutes. You choose whether or not to take up this option in the app.
