Counselling

Integrative Holistic Therapies

How it works?

Counselling provides a safe place for children to express their worries and fears and learn ways to cope with their emotions. For parents with a cancer diagnosis, we can help support you explain to your child what cancer is and provide an opportunity for them to talk about their feelings and how to cope with what is happening. For children/young people under the age of 16, written consent from a parent/legal guardian is necessary for counselling. For full info on our Counselling services go to our counselling page.

For children/young people under the age of 16 a parent/legal guardian must be present in the room during the session.
