Appearance Matters: The Podcast!

Welcome back to Appearance Matters: The Podcast! In this month’s episode, Ella speaks to Dr Helena Lewis-Smith, Associate Professor at the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), along with Fiona and Lucy, who have lived experience of breast cancer and are expert advisors for Helena’s research. They update us on the findings from Helena’s feasibility trial of the Accepting Your Body After Cancer (ABC) intervention, discuss why many women look for psychosocial support after their cancer treatment has finished, and talk about how younger women might have different experiences and support needs. If you, or someone close to you is affected by breast cancer, you can find information and support here: https://breastcancernow.org/ If you’re interested in finding out more about the Appearance Matters Conference, hosted by the Centre for Appearance Research (9th – 11th of June 2026), click here: https://www.uwe.ac.uk/research/centres-and-groups/appearance/news-and-events/am-conference #psychology #HealthPsycho
