Counselling

Need help with your cancer journey?

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, they may experience feelings of shock, anger, or confusion. Even the most supportive family members, friends, or employers cannot understand exactly how it feels to go through a cancer journey.

 

Counselling is one way for individuals to express their emotions. An opportunity to talk one-to-one in a safe, non-judgmental environment about what is important to you.

“The sessions were so important to my well being post surgery and through my chemo treatment. Given the speed with which everything moved from diagnosis, counselling was my first opportunity to process the enormity of this life changing event. I will be forever grateful for this help.”
