Counselling & Support Service

Counselling is a talking therapy, it is an opportunity to help you find ways of coping with change and face the challenging effects of loss. It is a chance to share and explore feelings or experiences that you may not feel able to share with family or friends.

Counselling sessions are mainly one to one but can be in couples or groups, we also facilitate group support and offer relaxation sessions called Time to Be. The Hospice is committed to offering compassionate, personalised and holistic care to patients and those that are important to them. Support can be offered face to face, in a group, over the phone and online via video call. We can also support clients who may struggle to communicate by offering non-verbal counselling through for example a chat function whilst online.

Support is available to patients and to those important to them, free of charge. Sessions are 50 minutes long and usually take place weekly.

Your first appointment will be an opportunity to meet with a counsellor and discuss your situation in confidence. If you then decide that counselling may be helpful, arrangements will be made for you to meet with a counsellor on a weekly basis for an agreed number of sessions.
