Patients can now access free counselling and emotional support from Macmillan and Bupa.

They are offering up to six sessions of free one-to-one counselling over the phone or via video call with a qualified Bupa counsellor. The service is for anyone who has cancer or has had cancer in the past and is experiencing high levels of emotional needs such as anxiety and depression.
