Our genetic counsellor-led helpline service is for people with a genetic condition, their relatives, professionals and anyone who needs to know more about genetic conditions and how to cope with the difficulties they can present.
Our helpline is an expanding service and is the only free helpline in the UK for all genetic conditions. It is a confidential and non-judgemental space for you to find out the information you need and discuss your feelings, concerns and fears about a genetic condition.
You can leave a voice message or send us an email any time. We are a small team and do all we can to respond to enquiries as quickly as possible, usually within two working days. On occasions the time we take to get back to you may be a little longer, but we will always respond as soon as we can.
Your enquiry will be treated in the strictest confidence. Please look at our Privacy Policy for more information.
