We understand that upon diagnosis there are many unknowns.
Living with uncertainty can trigger feelings of helplessness, anxiety and depression. By providing access to funded counselling and face-to-face/ online support groups we can help build a strong community to prevent patients and families from feeling isolated and dis-empowered.
Counselling Services
Peace of Mind offers face-to-face support groups and funded counselling to help patients and family members navigate their way through their diagnosis and continue to find joy in life when faced with uncertainty.
Counselling can be face-to-face or online depending on your location and Peace of Mind can offer funded and/or discounted sessions to our preferred professionals below.
Please note: Any families experiencing financial hardship may be eligible for funded sessions via Peace of Mind Foundation, please enquire today to find out more information.
