About Cancer Council Queensland - Cancer Counselling Service
Welcome to Cancer Council Queensland's Cancer Counselling Service! Located in Fortitude Valley, on Gregory Terrace, our establishment is dedicated to providing support and guidance for individuals and their loved ones facing the challenges of a cancer diagnosis.
Living with cancer or supporting someone on this journey can be incredibly difficult, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed or not quite like yourself. Sometimes, talking with your loved ones may not be enough, and that's where our Cancer Counselling Service comes in.
As Queensland's leading cancer-specific counselling service, we have a team of nurse counsellors and registered psychologists who are trained and experienced in helping people affected by cancer. Our service is available at any stage of your cancer journey, from diagnosis to living with or surviving cancer. We also provide support for those who are grieving.
Understanding that everyone's support needs vary, we offer counselling within a stepped model of care. We start by providing guided self-help, delivered by our nurse counsellors, whenever possible. If guided self-help does not address your concerns, we will connect you with our psychology service.
For those experiencing high levels of distress, we offer more intensive support through one-on-one counselling sessions with our psychologists. Additionally, we conduct group programs over the telephone and in-person in Brisbane and selected regional offices. These programs are designed to equip you with new coping skills to better manage the challenges cancer brings.
Our workshops, focusing on specific coping skills such as relaxation and mindfulness, are usually delivered in various locations across the state.
At Cancer Council Queensland, our services are provided free of charge thanks to the generosity of the community. We encourage clients referred to our psychology service to obtain a Mental Health Care Plan from their GP, which allows us to communicate directly with your GP and supports the costs associated with our service. Sessions with a Mental Health Care Plan will be bulk billed to Medicare, ensuring you have no out-of-pocket expenses.
Our Cancer Counselling Service is available to anyone who is distressed by cancer, including family and friends. We offer individual counselling as well as the opportunity to participate in our group programs. To access our services, simply call Cancer Council 13 11 20, and our team will be happy to refer you to the Cancer Counselling Service. Our phone lines are open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays), and appointments are available during business hours, with limited after-hours appointments available upon arrangement.
As a Cancer Council Queensland service user, you have certain rights and responsibilities. We also want to acknowledge and pay our respects to the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Queensland, recognizing their ongoing connection to the lands, waters, and communities.
For more information, please visit our website or contact us directly. Cancer Council Queensland is registered as a charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission ABN 48321126727.
