What The Cancer Rollercoaster Provides
The Cancer Rollercoaster is a clinician-led, digital stepped-care system designed to complement medical treatment and provide structured emotional, cognitive, and behavioural support across the cancer pathway.
Our model includes:
- Clinically governed psycho-education and moderated support spaces, designed to contain distress early and reduce reassurance pressure on oncology teams
- Programs for key phases of care: newly diagnosed, post-treatment, advanced disease, and carers
- Stepped support options for Fear of Cancer Recurrence and Progression, including guided self-paced learning and small group therapy, with escalation to 1:1 therapy if clinically necessary.
- Bulk-billed individual psychology sessions as clinically indicated, with no out-of-pocket cost to patients
- Five years of continuous support, funded through a single service payment per patient made by the clinic
- Evidence-based practice frameworks, including CBT, ACT, CFT, and MCT approaches
- Bridging the current system gap by providing consistent, evidence-based psychosocial care that most cancer patients cannot currently access (even in large centres).
This structure offers your patients a safe, clinically credible pathway while offering your clinicians peace-of-mind knowing emotional needs are supported and guided.
