The Nurse Counselling team provides a range of services in enabling our patients and their significant others to cope psycho-emotionally with their cancer diagnoses and treatment. Our trained oncology nurses assess patients' psycho-emotional coping and intervene early through distress counselling. We provide a safe haven for patients to unload their distressing thoughts and emotions, and empower patients in improving their overall well-being via the provision of counselling and psycho-education.
Some of the services we provide include:
The Nurse Counselling team supports patients psycho-emotionally and practically throughout their treatment journey. From helping one to identify/clarify his/her fears and worries, to keeping one's anxiety and low mood to tolerable levels, the team aims to assist patients in devising their own personalised solutions to their challenges. By providing evidence-based information and reliable care advice, the team hopes to enable patients in retaining their sense of control and engagement in life-meaningful activities during this stressful chapter of their lives.
