Monthly blog dedicated to young people living with MPNs Alice’s ninth blog: Q&A with Dr Sophia Kaimaklioti

[Mazcd]

Coping with an MPN diagnosis and symptoms inevitably has an impact on our mental health and wellbeing, this month in her ninth blog for young people with MPNs, Alice is joined by Dr Sophia Kaimaklioti, Psychologist and Psychotherapist in the Teenage and Young Adult (TYA) service and Psycho-Oncology Support Team at Guy’s Hospital in London.

They discuss why psychological support is important for young MPN patients and the different therapies and techniques that can help support them. Alice also shares her ‘top three’ mindfulness exercises which she draws on to manage the unpredictability and recurrence of symptoms in the hope they might help other MPN patients, now or in the future.
