Psychological Counselling

When a person is detected with cancer it becomes very difficult for him/her and their family to cope with it. We at Oriental Cancer Institute give psychological counselling to the patient and their family. Which works with a mental health professional to cope with the challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. Counselling can help you understand your feelings and reactions, and it provides a safe place to talk about your worries.

A counsellor cannot always solve your problems. But they can provide a helpful, outside viewpoint and they are trained to help you deal with difficult situations.

How does counselling help?
