Clinical Psychology Cancer Service


Cancer Psychology Service

The Cancer Psychology Service is provided by Clinical Psychologists, Counselling Psychologists, and Trainee Clinical Psychologists, who specialise in supporting people throughout their cancer journey. It is not unusual to find it difficult to cope with a diagnosis of cancer, treatment, and life afterwards. Our service aims to work with patients, carers, and staff to identify and address challenges with coping on this journey.

Psychologists are non-medical doctors who use psychological approaches to help you understand and manage troubling thoughts, feelings, and behaviour.

This website offers psychological resources for all patients with cancer, as well as their carers and family members, and staff.
