Abstract Cancer, a formidable adversary of human health and well-being, imposes profound physical and emotional challenges upon those who are diagnosed with it. This case study embarks on an exploration into the transformative potential of psychotherapeutic interventions in a 49-year-old female who had been diagnosed with clear cell carcinoma of the left ovary. Psychotherapeutic interventions were systematically integrated into the early stages of cancer treatment. The structured psychotherapeutic interventions consisted of client-centered counselling coupled with mindfulness training and cognitive restructuring. The aim of the intervention was to provide more comprehensive and effective paradigm in cancer care. A mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative assessment using Brief-COPE scale and Brief Resilience scale was employed. Findings indicated a marked improvement in the patient's resilience, coping, and capacity to confront the physical and emotional challenges posed by cancer. The novel aspect of this research lies in its meticulous examination of a single patient's journey, showcasing the potential of a highly individualized approach.
