Counselling Services

Patients and their families can experience a range of emotions due to a cancer diagnosis  for example anxiety, fear, anger, sadness and frustrations.  Patients and families can find it beneficial to speak to someone neutral like a counsellor about their worries, fears and frustrations as they can tell them things that they may not wish to speak with their family or friends about.
