Counselling Services

Rising India Research Foundation provides comprehensive psycho-oncology counselling services for cancer patients, caregivers, families, and healthcare professionals. These services address the emotional, psychological, and relational challenges that arise across the cancer journey—from diagnosis and treatment to survivorship and palliative care.

A key component of our service delivery is the weekly psycho-oncology OPD conducted at Indrayani Cancer Institute, where patients and caregivers receive psychological assessment and counselling as part of integrated cancer care. This ensures timely, accessible, and continuous emotional support alongside medical treatment.

Our counselling services include:

Individual Counselling:
Supporting patients in coping with diagnosis-related distress, treatment anxiety, fear of recurrence, emotional suppression, adjustment difficulties, and quality-of-life concerns.

Family Counselling:
Helping families navigate communication challenges, changing roles, emotional strain, and shared decision-making during the cancer journey.

Caregiver Counselling:
Addressing caregiver burden, burnout, guilt, emotional exhaustion, and the need for self-care and psychological support.

Group Counselling and Group Therapy:
Offering supportive spaces where patients and caregivers can share experiences, reduce isolation, and build resilience through guided peer interaction.

Support for Healthcare Professionals:
Providing emotional and psychological support to healthcare workers to address burnout, compassion fatigue, and the emotional demands of oncology and caregiving roles.

In addition, Rising India facilitates cancer support groups within hospital and community settings, guided by trained mental health professionals, to promote emotional expression, shared learning, and psychosocial coping.

Counselling services are delivered through hospital-based OPD sessions and centre-based counselling, ensuring accessible, culturally sensitive, and compassionate psychological care as an essential part of holistic cancer treatment.
