Finding Steadiness after a Breast Cancer Diagnosis

A structured psychological workbook for the early weeks & months

Written by Clinical Psychologist and breast cancer survivor Dr Marion Roberts, Finding Steadiness offers practical psychological understanding & tools (drawing from psychological therapies such as CBT & ACT) to help you steady your mind, reduce overwhelm, and move forward - one step at a time.

Inside, you’ll find:

- Accessible explanations of the psychological response to a cancer diagnosis
- Simple stabilisation plans, regulation practices and psychological tools
- Support for navigating information, decisions, and uncertainty
- Scripts for managing difficult conversations
- Guided worksheets to support reflection and help build a balanced mindset
- Examples drawn from the author’s own lived experience
- Prompted writing space to foster reflection, and build capacity over time

Warm, compassionate, and clinically grounded, Finding Steadinessis designed to support you at your own pace, and as your capacity allows.

The focus is not on getting things right, or being unrealistically strong. Instead, it is about creating enough steadiness, in your body and mind, to take the next step.
