Family and Loved Ones
Cancer affects everyone in different ways. All our services are available to family members and loved ones to support them through this difficult time.
Men’s Groups
This support group is for men who currently have or have had a cancer diagnosis in the past. The group, facilitated by a qualified counsellor, give support to each other and share resources and information in a safe and secure setting.
Stress Management
Teaches coping techniques that can be put into daily practice to minimize stress.
By appointment only.
Counselling
Our trained counsellors provide one on one counselling that can help you sort out many different problems that you may face when you have cancer. You may feel fear, have strong reactions to changes to your body, or be anxious about treatment. Some people feel very angry or find it difficult to cope with a feeling of loss of control. Cancer can also affect your family relationships. It may affect how to talk to your children or your intimacy with your partner. It may also lead to role changes within the family, if you are no longer able to fulfil the role you used to, even temporarily.
Cois Nore offers a safe space for you to talk through your concerns in strictest confidence.
By appointment only.
