Psycho-oncological support and counselling

Psycho-oncological support and counselling is primarily intended for patients diagnosed with cancer who experience mild to moderate psychological, physical, and social stress. Consultations are centred on the person as a sufferer and on approaches to deal with the disease.

The consultation mainly focuses on the individual’s self-efficacy and on learning strategies of how to cope with the disease. 

Focus of the consultation

• Screening for psychosocial stress
• Psychosocial support and emotional guidance
• Dealing with the practical, familial, emotional, and physical strains that may arise as a consequence of the disease
• Psychoeducation
• Providing personal and medical support on issues relating to the disease to affected patients and their family members
• Networking with internal and external institutions
• Counselling and support services are also available after completion of therapy/survivorship

Costs

The services will be invoiced at an official rate. Costs are normally covered by health insurance. We will clarify any ambiguities related to insurance cover in advance. 

Our psycho-oncological consultant, Ms Annett Noack, will be happy to answer any questions or provide further information.
