• Why have I been referred? 

  We support patients, families and carers cope with the short and long term impact of having a haematological disorder.

  Your health professional has referred you to our service because he or she thinks you may benefit from seeing one of our health psychologists, for example you may be distressed about: 

  • dealing with uncertainty about the future
  • life threatening issues
  • unpleasant symptoms
  • loss of control
  • changes in self image
  • complicated pregnancies
  • difficulties in having children
  • maintaining relationships.

• Support groups 

  In addition to offering individual therapy, the team also offers regular support group sessions for patients and their families/carers.

• Clinics

  Patients undergoing individual psychological therapy - excluding haemophilia patients - are seen by appointment only in the haematology department counselling room (address at the top of this page).
