Jane Fletcher – Director
Health Psychologist MAPS FCHP AAPi
BA., Grad.Dip.Appl.Psych.
Jane is a health psychologist with over 30 years of experience working with individuals with cancer. Having established Melbourne Psycho-oncology Service in 2008, Jane continues to offer evidence-based intervention to individuals, couples and families at all stages of the cancer experience, from diagnosis to bereavement. She has extensive experience using cognitive-behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, a range of existential approaches and mindfulness-based interventions. She is qualified in medical hypnosis and uses this for the treatment of cancer-related sleep disorders and phobic and conditioned responses. She has a special interest in sexuality and is experienced in a range of specific interventions for the psycho-sexual issues associated with a cancer diagnosis. Special interests include breast, gynaecological, prostate, bowel, lung and haematological cancers. Jane is passionate about offering care to those diagnosed with less common cancers. She also works with those who have tested gene-positive for cancer and may require prophylactic surgical intervention. Jane speaks widely, both locally and internationally, to peers and those living with a cancer diagnosis and holds adjunct appointments with Monash University and the Szalmuk Family Psycho-oncology Unit.
