Cancer Support - Cancer Counselling Trust

One in three people are diagnosed with cancer during their lives. Shock, grief and fear are just some of the feelings they and their families must deal with. Such emotions are too painful to carry alone.

Welcome to The Cancer Counselling Trust. We are a specialist cancer counselling charity offering support to patients and those close to them who are facing the impact of a cancer diagnosis at any stage of the disease.

Like all charities at the moment, we are having to deal with the repercussions of the financial climate which is affecting our level of support from institutions and grant making trusts. Ever since we started, ten years ago, our declared intention has been to provide free, professional , accessible support to all those who need us. We provide this either face to face at our centre in London or over the phone if you live too far away to get to us, are feeling too ill to face the journey or are caring for someone too sick to leave.

Because it is becoming more difficult to raise funds to support our service we are, for the time being only, obliged to reduce the number of sessions we can offer. This means that we now have to prioritize and that we are not able to support bereavement clients. However, even if we are not able to help you, we will do our best to signpost you to alternative sources of support.

We are asking everyone in a position to do so to make a donation towards the cost of their sessions, although this is not a condition of providing them, and we are stepping up our fundraising activities to get us through the next few difficult months. We are determined to get through this period and to continue to offer the informed and understanding support that those of you who have used our service in the past have come to appreciate. In the meantime, do make use of the articles and information on the website and our co-ordinators will do all they can to help you when you ring us.

"Many clients choose to come to us because we are not in a hospital setting. We have outstanding supervision from professionals experienced in working with serious illness. Because we offer a service which is free of charge we are able to meet the needs of a broad range of people, which is one of the reasons I really value working here at CCT."
