Counselling is a talking therapy that can help you with a range of emotional issues you may face during and beyond cancer.
Who is it for?
The Star Throwers Counselling Service is suitable if you:
- have a diagnosis of any type of cancer
- are newly diagnosed
- are undergoing treatment
- trying to adjust back to ‘normal’ life and work after treatment
- are facing a life-limiting prognosis
- relative or carer affected by loved one’s cancer diagnosis or bereavement
How can it help?
Some people find it difficult to have a completely honest discussion with family or friends as they don’t want to upset them.
Our counsellors will listen and allow you a space to share your feelings honestly at any part of your journey, without worrying about negatively affecting others.
