“In Northern Ireland there is a ‘lets just get on with it’ attitude among people affected by cancer, but there is an alternative. Counselling made a really positive change to my life and I know it will do the same for others.”- Dorothy Crory, Counselling service user.
Counselling sessions take place in a comfortable, wheel-chair accessible environment and all calls are treated with discretion, taking into consideration the client's unique personal needs.
Clients who can use the service are:
- People suffering from cancer
- Family members
- Friends
- Carers

“The emotions experienced by cancer patients, and those close to them, can be very frightening and difficult to deal with. Many people still try to cope by bottling these feelings up inside and often this can affect a person's ability to cope during this already difficult time.”
“Talking to a professional can actually allow for stress to be shared confidentially outside of the family circle. This can lessen the isolation and fear many people experience and it can also improve their coping skills.”
Our counsellors are trained and experienced professionals who are all accredited (or working towards accreditation) with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Much of the discussion is likely to focus on your experience of cancer, directly or indirectly, and how it is affecting your life.
There may be things you don't understand, practical concerns or worries about the future.
There are no right or wrong topics to bring to counselling. If it's important enough to be on your mind, it's important enough for us to help.
We also offer a confidential Listening Ear Service for anyone affected by cancer.
