Recruitment Rate
The feasibility of recruitment will be assessed by the number of participants enrolled in the study per month.
From enrolment of the first participant until the recruitment target is reached (up to 6 months)
Intervention Adherence: Modules Accessed
The level of engagement with the Finding My Way-UK program, defined as the number of intervention modules accessed (opened) by each participant on the Finding My Way-UK platform.
At post-intervention (week 4)
Intervention Adherence: Modules Completed
The number of intervention modules completed by each participant on the Finding My Way-UK platform.
At post-intervention (week 4)
Participants receive immediate access to the Finding My Way-UK online psychosocial program for four weeks. The program includes six self-guided modules on topics such as: treatment and communication with treatment teams, coping with treatment side effects, managing emotions, identity and body image, social support, and post-treatment adjustment.
Participants receive a digital information pack listing national psychological support resources for people living with and beyond cancer (e.g., Macmillan Cancer Support, Maggie's). This arm represents a treatment-as-usual control providing publicly available information but no structured psychosocial content.
Self-guided, web-based psychosocial intervention integrating cognitive-behavioural, psychoeducational, and mindfulness-based strategies to support people living with and beyond curatively treated cancer. Six modules delivered online; participants complete flexibly over four weeks.

Retention Rate at Post-Intervention
Assessed by the percentage of participants who complete the post-intervention outcome assessment.

Retention Rate at 3-Month Follow-Up
The percentage of participants who complete the 3-month post-intervention outcome assessment.
At 3 months post-intervention
Qualitative Acceptability of the Intervention
At baseline, participants will be asked an open-ended question about their expectations for the intervention, specifically what they hope will change or improve. At follow-up, participants will provide free-text responses describing any unexpected changes or impacts. Free-text responses will be subjected to basic thematic analysis to identify common themes relating to participant experience and acceptability.
At post-intervention (week 4)
Quantitative Acceptability of the Intervention
At baseline, participants will be asked an open-ended question about their expectations for the intervention, specifically what they hope will change or improve. At follow-up, participants rate the extent to which the intervention met these expectations on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 10 (completely). Higher scores indicate greater acceptability.
At post-intervention (week 4)
