Why Cancer Counselling

We Hear You – Cancer Counselling

We provide counselling and emotional support for patients, families, friends and carers who have been affected or bereaved by cancer or any other life-threatening condition, across Somerset, Bath and North East Somerset and Wiltshire.

At We Hear you we understand that the emotional impact can be just as hard to manage as physical symptoms, and that the impact extends to everyone connected to the person diagnosed. People who use our service often report feeling numb, isolated and terrified and struggling to cope. We provide a safe space to work through difficult feelings with an experienced, specialist counsellor. When you ask WHY…we hear you.

If you are affected or have been bereaved by cancer or another life-threatening condition and would like to know more about our counselling and other types of support, please see our 'Get Support' pages.

EASTER OPENING: Over the Easter period some of the WHY team are having a well earned break, so between Monday 7th and Monday 21st April you might expect to wait a little longer to hear back from us. We will be closed over the Easter weekend from the 18th to the 21st April.

How You Can Help Us

• Fundraising
  It costs more than £6,000 a week and we don't receive any central government funding. Can you help? There are lots of ways to get involved, from hosting an event, sharing your time and skills as a volunteer, taking on a physical or a personal challenge or making a one-off or regular donation.
• Volunteering
  Donating your time and skills to WHY is of huge benefit to us, and to you too: make new friends, be part of something important and learn some new skills, for as little or as much time as you'd like to offer. Contact one of our team to find out more.
• Make a Donation
  The impact of a life-threatening diagnosis is far reaching and for many people that includes financial challenges. We can only continue to provide a lifeline to those who need it because of the generous support of people like you. Making a donation, however big or small, is a great way of supporting our vital work.
