Couples and Cancer: Reimagining Intimacy at Fitzroy

A cancer diagnosis changes everything—not only the body, but also how couples connect, desire, and express love. Fitzroy specialises in supporting couples when one partner is living with or recovering from cancer, offering a compassionate space to reimagine intimacy together.

In this work, couples are supported to communicate more deeply, offer meaningful support to one another, and rediscover pleasure in ways that reflect their evolving realities.

Psychosexual therapy at Fitzroy helps navigate the emotional and physical shifts with honesty, care, and a shared commitment to reconnect. Together, couples explore what’s been lost, what endures, and how to open space for new forms of closeness—shaping an intimate bond that honours who they are today.

With warmth, expertise, and sensitivity, Fitzroy walks alongside couples through this deeply personal process of renewal.
