Genetic counselling
Genetic counselling is a vital step before taking tests like cancer genetic testing or carrier screening. It helps you understand what the test can and can't tell you, what your results might mean for your health or your family's, and whether testing is right for you. Our expert genetic counsellors will guide you through your options, explain the science in simple terms, and offer support in making informed decisions. This personalised approach ensures you feel confident and prepared, whatever your results may be.
