Support Counselling Program
Emotional care for every stage of your cancer journey
Living with cancer can be unsettling and emotionally complex. You may feel shock, disbelief, sadness, anger, or fear — and it’s important to know that these feelings are valid and that you’re not alone.
The Support Counselling Program provides free, professional counselling for individuals and families affected by upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. Whether you're navigating a diagnosis, undergoing treatment, adjusting to life beyond cancer, facing advanced stages, or grieving the loss of a loved one, our counsellors are here to help.

Counselling can help you:

- Manage the impact of symptoms and side effects
- Navigate anxiety, sadness or depression
- Communicate with healthcare teams and loved ones
- Adjust to changes in daily life and relationships
