Surgery takes a toll that isn't only physical. Pain, reduced mobility, depending on others and worry about the future can leave people feeling low, anxious or not like themselves, even when the operation went well.
Post-surgery counselling helps you understand these feelings, cope with the recovery period and rebuild confidence. With your consent, I can work alongside your surgeon or doctor.
