Patient Counselling Service

Talking to someone not connected with the family can help you say and discuss things you may not be able to do with those that are very close to you. We have a team of qualified counsellors and art psychotherapists that can help with diagnosis, family issues and other mental health conditions.

Specialist Children’s Service

We see any child that is in a palliative family and needs support at this time, we can see them in our rooms at the hospice, or we can arrange a visit to the school if this helps.
For bereaved children we hold groups, see children 1:1 at the hospice or in the school environment. We do not want children to miss out on education at this difficult time so school may be the best place for us to see them. We have a team of specialist children’s therapists that can support the children

Family Counselling Service

Our Counselling Services can also offer families the opportunity to talk about their situation, the diagnosis and their emotions surrounding it. Often the sessions will take place at the hospice to meet with our Counsellors as a family, ensuring that everyone can share their feelings, be heard, and understood and support each other through this very difficult time. We also have therapists that can work dyadically with parent and child; to help them through very difficult circumstances.
