What is Genetic Counselling?
Genetic counselling is a professional service that helps individuals and families understand how genetic conditions might affect them or their relatives. Our certified genetic counsellors provide compassionate support as you navigate complex health decisions, interpret genetic test results, and develop strategies for managing inherited health risks.
Think of genetic counselling as having a trusted medical guide who specializes in family health patterns – someone who can translate complex genetic information into practical advice you can use to protect your family’s health.
Who Should Consider Genetic Counselling?
Genetic counselling can provide valuable insights if you’re experiencing any of these concerns:
- Family Planning Decisions: If you’re planning a pregnancy and have concerns about inherited conditions
- Cancer Risk Assessment: When multiple family members have had cancer, especially at young ages
- Pregnancy Concerns: If prenatal testing shows potential genetic issues
- Childhood Conditions: When your child shows symptoms of possible genetic disorders
- Personal Health History: If you have a personal or family history of genetic conditions
- Ethnic Background Risks: Certain ethnic groups have higher risks for specific genetic conditions
