We hope you will find the same warm welcome when you visit us.
Counselling
Coming to terms with a cancer diagnosis can be very difficult. Sometimes we need to stay strong for others & suppress the many thoughts running through our minds. During this difficult time, we are here to help you. When you talk to a professional counsellor about what is going on in your life, they will help you manage the many different worries & concerns more effectively. Over time this will help the client gain the inner strength necessary to deal with the fear & equip them with the hope & confidence to deal with their situation.
