Cancer often catches patients and their relatives unprepared. Fears and anxieties can arise. Nothing can be taken for granted. Questions often arise such as: What should I do next? What is important to me? The changes associated with the new situation are stressful for many of the people affected and are difficult to cope with without help from others.
This is why we at Claraspital offer psychological counselling and therapy for patients with oncological diseases and their relatives. We see ourselves as therapeutic counsellors who are open to your questions and concerns and who work with you to find individual solutions.
