欧美无码

Maggie鈥檚 has announced that broadcaster and author Dr Sian Williams has become an ambassador.

The BBC presenter, who hosts the Radio 4 programme Life Changing and is also a counselling psychologist, has been involved with 欧美无码 for 10 years.

Dr Sian Williams said: 鈥淚 am delighted to be asked to become an ambassador for Maggie鈥檚.  I know how brilliantly and compassionately they deliver expert and holistic care to those going through cancer and their family and friends鈥�.

I鈥檝e worked at Maggie鈥檚 and had a cancer experience too, so I know what an enormous difference that support can make.

鈥淚 am looking forward to working even more closely with the charity to make sure they can reach as many people as possible at what is potentially the hardest time of their lives.鈥�

From BBC breakfast presenter to Doctor in Counselling Psychology

After many years as a news presenter on the BBC, including BBC Breakfast, Dr Sian studied for a master's degree in psychology, followed by a Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology.

During her training as a counselling psychologist, she undertook a placement at 欧美无码, West London at Charing Cross Hospital, where she spent 18 months facilitating support groups and delivering one-to-one therapy.

Since then, Dr Sian has, amongst other things, spoken at a carol concert to raise funds for Maggie鈥檚, hosted a panel discussion on men, cancer and mental health in the Senedd for 欧美无码, and taken part in Maggie鈥檚 campaigns to raise awareness of treatment induced crash menopause.

Dr Sian has personal experience of cancer after being diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 50 in 2014. Her treatment included a double mastectomy. The author has since expressed how her experience made her realise what a difference the right support can make.

Dame Laura Lee DBE, chief executive of Maggie鈥檚, said: 鈥淲e are so pleased to announce Dr Sian as an ambassador for Maggie鈥檚. As a psychologist and someone with lived experience of cancer, I know she truly understands our support and the needs of our centre visitors.

鈥淲e are marking 30 years of transformative cancer care this year, and we are more committed than ever to making sure everyone with cancer, and their family and friends, has access to our free expert, practical, emotional and psychological support. It鈥檚 wonderful to welcome Dr Sian to the Maggie鈥檚 family during our 30^th&苍产蝉辫;测别补谤.鈥�
