  • Maggie Jackson is a 72 year old woman who was diagnosed with CLL in 2005. She continued to work until 2018 in the NHS when she retired but continued working part time from home as a counsellor , integrative psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner. Maggie's professional experience has helped her to keep CLL in perspective and to live with the diagnosis and its effects on her everyday life. She doesn’t have all the answers, and freely acknowledges she is not an expert in CLL but think we can all Think Differently about it so we can live with it. Maggie's articles do not take the place of personal counselling and do not constitute medical advice or treatment. You can e-mail Maggy here.
