Cancer
Just hearing the doctor say the word "cancer" can have a profound effect on a person.
Book an AppointmentWhen cancer affects life
When dealing with a cancer diagnosis it can affect every area of your life from emotions, finances, relationships and social support.
A certain amount of emotional distress is common, particularly around the time of diagnosis. Psychological issues are often more common in the first year after treatment, and can remain significant for some survivors over time.
How counselling may help
When dealing with cancer it can feel like you are on a roller coaster, not knowing what is coming next. Counselling can help you manage your emotions.
- Make space for fear, distress, sadness, depression and anxiety
- Talk about thoughts and worries in a confidential setting
- Share things you may not be able to say to loved ones
- Strengthen coping through steady emotional support
Support is available for people with cancer and those closely affected by it.
