Pre-Test Counselling

Pre-test counseling in the context of direct-to-consumer genetic testing is a process where individuals receive guidance before undergoing genetic testing. A trained professional helps you understand what the test can reveal about your health risks or ancestry, its limitations, and potential emotional impacts. You’ll discuss your motivations for testing, what the results may mean for you and your family, and how to interpret those results responsibly. This process ensures you are informed and prepared for the outcomes, promoting clearer understanding and better decision-making regarding your genetic information.
