Genetic Counselling
Certified genetic counsellors review results and explain what they mean, in plain language. It is the final step of our sample-to-insight process.
How we engage
Counselling is built into our reporting, and available as a standalone service.
What you get
Results that are clear, accurate and framed around choices, not verdicts.
Where counselling sits
Counselling is the last step of the sample-to-insight process, not an optional extra bolted on afterwards. Sample collection, sequencing and analysis, variant curation and report generation come first; every report is then read by a certified genetic counsellor before it is delivered.
Two readers, one report
Every report has two readers. The person whose genome it is needs to see, on the first page and in plain language, what it means for them. The clinician beside them needs every marker and gene behind each finding. The report is written in that order, and counselling works from it: the plain-language layer for the person, the full annexure for the clinician.
What a report has to answer
A result is not an answer. Each trait in a wellness report is built in four layers, so the person reading it can see not just what was found but what to do about it.
- Risk score: a polygenic risk score summarising estimated predisposition for that trait.
- Trait implication: what the score means for the trait in question, in plain language.
- Descriptive reporting: the context, background and supporting detail behind the result.
- Clinical suggestion: actionable, counsellor-reviewed guidance and next steps.
