We provide free counselling
A cancer diagnosis can affect every part of life – not just for the person diagnosed, but for their whole family/whānau.
We offer free funded professional counselling to help individuals and families navigate the emotional, mental, and practical challenges that come with cancer. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment, adjusting to life after treatment, or supporting a loved one, we’re here to listen and support you.
Counselling is available as one-on-one, couple or family counselling, depending on your needs.
You can be referred by your doctor or oncology nurse (they will need to complete the form below), or get in touch with our Centre directly to arrange support.
