Psycho-Oncology
Our psycho-oncological counselling service is part of our integrative treatment approach and offers help in a crisis. The questions and worries arising from the disease often burden a patient's whole life. Psycho-oncology and the accompanying psychosocial support can help to improve their quality of life and open up new perspectives for the future. This also has a positive effect on the course of the disease.
Our pledge is to support our patients suffering from cancer in all phases of the disease in a targeted and constructive way to help them process and cope with their condition. The approach is always tailored to the individual. We take into account the patient's personal perspective as well as possible stresses caused by the treatments. For us, it is crucial to support people's autonomy and their own, individual path.

- Stabilisation and relief in acute crisis situations
- Support with decisions in the course of treatment
- Coping with illness
- Coping with discomfort caused by the cancer (e.g. sleep disorders, existential fears, fears related to chemotherapy/radiotherapy)
