Supporting Your Emotional Wellbeing Through the Cancer Journey
A cancer diagnosis impacts far more than just the body — it can shake your sense of identity, security, and hope. At Anchoridge Counselling Services, we offer Psycho-Oncology Therapy to support individuals and families navigating the emotional, psychological, and relational challenges that come with cancer.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, in remission, or caregiving for a loved one, our therapists are here to walk beside you with compassion, understanding, and specialized support.
What is Psycho-Oncology Therapy?
Psycho-Oncology is a specialized area of therapy focused on the emotional and mental health needs of individuals affected by cancer. This includes patients, survivors, caregivers, and families.
Therapy provides a safe space to process feelings, develop coping tools, and explore meaning during what can be an overwhelming and uncertain time.
