Genetic Counselling
Genetic counselling is a clinical service that helps you understand how genetic factors may affect your health or your family.
It provides clarity, context, and guidance before and after genetic testing, supporting informed and confident decision-making.
What Is Genetic Counselling?
Genetic counselling involves a structured discussion with a qualified genetic counsellor. It includes reviewing your personal and family history, assessing potential genetic risks, and explaining what testing may or may not show. The aim is to ensure you have a clear understanding of your situation before making any decisions about testing or next steps.
