Meet the team
Kathy Wright
Position:
Centre Head
I look after running the centre and make sure my team and I are providing the best possible cancer support and psychological support.
I have over 28 years' experience as a cancer nurse. I worked in The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre as a Colorectal Clinical Nurse Specialist before joining Maggie's in 2014.
I am here to listen, to help you talk things over and to find the information and support that's right for you and your family.
Kelly Taylor
Position:
Psychologist
As a qualified Clinical Psychologist, I enable people with cancer and their families to cope more effectively with the many challenges that receiving a cancer diagnosis undoubtedly brings and to make personal meaning of their experience.
I offer a safe, supportive, therapeutic space where we can begin to explore and understand what may be a very confusing, overwhelming, life-changing experience. I work relationally, using evidence-based psychological therapies to support each person in finding a way to continue to live a life that is valued and meaningful to them.
I worked with groups, individuals, couples and families who experienced a range of emotional difficulties in relation to their experience of cancer.
