About Us
What we do
The purpose of Cancer Counselling Professionals is to bring together therapists who have psycho-oncology training and experience, in order to provide quality, affordable counselling to people whose lives are impacted by cancer.
The association was founded in 2005 and has grown in membership and in the number of services on offer.
Cancer Counselling Professionals is expanding its operation to also cover Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, Northern Territory and Tasmania. We are therefore inviting applications for membership.
