Finding a local therapist
If it is not convenient for you to come to the LJMC for counselling, or if you have finished your sessions at the LJMC, you may wish to find a therapist in your local area.
The term ‘therapist’ includes counsellors, art therapists, psychotherapists and psychologists. Independent therapists can provide flexibility by offering:
- appointments at evenings and weekends
- specialist experience of working with cancer-related issues
- availability to people not currently eligible to therapies at the LJMC
- additional sessions after finishing therapy at the LJMC
If you live in England and are aged 18 or over, you can access NHS psychological therapies (IAPT) services. A GP can refer you, or you can refer yourself directly.
Details of private registered therapists in your local area may be found on the following websites which have public directories of registered therapists:
- Art therapists: British Association of Art Therapists
- Counsellors and psychotherapists: British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
- Psychotherapists: UK Council for Psychotherapy
- Psychologists: The British Psychological Society
