Talk to a Counsellor
NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia (NECA) is committed to supporting not only people living with neuroendocrine cancer, but also their families and carers.
We have expanded our Telehealth Specialist Support Services to include Counselling, working alongside and complementing our NET Nurse Service.
This specialist service is available via telephone or virtual consultations using Microsoft Teams, making support accessible wherever you are.
Our counselling service provides compassionate emotional and psychological support for everyone affected by neuroendocrine cancer – including patients, family members and carers – offering a safe space to talk, process your experience, and feel supported at any stage of your journey.
