Cancer Focus NI - Counselling

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.
