Counselling
We understand that the effects of living with cavernoma go beyond just the physical symptoms; coping with this chronic condition can affect your mental and emotional wellbeing too. Whether you have a cavernoma or care for someone that does, life can often feel exhausting and overwhelming. That’s why we offer online therapy via zoom with a qualified counsellor who has been supporting cavernoma community for many years.
Session Options
With thanks to a generous grant from AxIOM Neuromonitoring, we can offer you up to:
- 4 sessions free or
- 8 sessions at £25 a session
Each session is 50 minutes long. Any payments are made directly to our counsellor, Robyn Hughes, who is an independent practitioner who has worked with Cavernoma Alliance UK since 2019.

If you would like to access counselling please get in touch by email through our contact page.
