I would like to find a psychologist or counsellor who has lived experience of having cancer. I'm based in London but open to having online sessions with the right person. Can anyone help?
Hello KLMSyd,
I'm afraid I can't suggest counsellors or psychologists but if you call the Macmillan helpline I'm sure they'll be able to help you.
The number is 0808 808 00 00 and it's open from 8am to 8pm 7 days a week.

Hello KLMSyd
Like Derek above I am unable to answer your question. You may find someone here:
The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BCAP).
01455 883300
e-mail : bacp@bacp.co.uk
Website: www.bacp.co.uk
I hope the above helps.
Best wishes - Brian.
