Counselling
Cancer can bring many difficult emotions. About 35% to 45% of cancer patients experience significant emotional distress at some point during their cancer journey.
BC Cancer counsellors are health professionals with master's- or doctorate-level training and expertise in cancer care. They can help you manage concerns such as:
- Fear, anxiety and depression
- Family conflict or tension
- Relationship challenges
- Lifestyle changes
- Financial stress
Individuals, couples, caregivers and families can meet with a counsellor in person or by phone. You can also join counsellor-led
support groups at BC Cancer regional
centres.
Support is available during cancer treatment and after treatment ends.
To make an appointment, contact the location you would like to visit.
