Help with counselling

Dear Matthijs,

Please point me towards private behavioural/humanistic counselling for terminally Sick cancer patients.

Our dear close friends are needing extra support. I am not familiar with with Dutch system and am struggling to find specific extra counselling to point them towards.

Grateful for your advice.

kind regards.

Dear Kathryn,

Very sorry to hear about the difficult times your dear close friends (and also you) are in right now. 

In the Netherlands, there are several healthcare organizations that provide excellent and specialized psychological care to people who have (had) cancer (and their beloved). You can find an overview of these organizations here on kanker.nl on this page: https://www.kanker.nl/hulp-en-ondersteuning/vind-hulp/zorgaanbod/28

The general practitioner ("huisarts" in Dutch) is able to refer people to these specialized organizations. 

Additionally, I'd also like to share this link with more information (in Dutch) about palliative care: https://www.kanker.nl/soorten-behandelingen/palliatieve-zorg

I'd like to conclude with wishing you and your friends lots of strenght in the times ahead.

Kind regards,

Matthijs de Wit
