Mouth Cancer Counselling Service
If you or someone close to you has been diagnosed with mouth cancer and you are finding it difficult to cope with the impact of the disease, you may find it helpful to talk to a specialist cancer counsellor about your fears and hopes.
The Cancer Counselling Trust provides a series of free, confidential sessions, both face to face and over the phone. You do not need a doctor’s referral. To enquire about counselling please call 020 7704 1137 and talk to the counselling co-ordinator to see how you may be helped.
Please Note: This is a counselling service to people affected by cancer and does not provide medical information or advice.
