Whether you’re adjusting to a diagnosis, supporting someone through illness, or coping with loss and grief, we’re here for you.
Sessions can take place at our Therapy & Wellbeing Centre, by phone or video call, or at another suitable location where appropriate.
You’ll be supported by qualified counsellors from our team and trusted counselling partners who provide emotional support in a safe and confidential environment.
We offer up to 12 counselling or bereavement support sessions, and these are usually fortnightly appointments. After your sessions end, we can help you access other support available if you need it.
Understanding your emotions
Known as anticipatory grief, this can include grieving the future you had imagined, changes in relationships or lost opportunities.
Asking for support doesn't mean you're not coping. Caring for someone with an incurable illness can be emotionally challenging, and there is no right or wrong way to feel. Counselling provides a safe, confidential space to talk openly, make sense of your thoughts and feelings, and get the support you need.
How counselling can help
- Cope with change and uncertainty
- Talk through difficult feelings
- Manage stress, anxiety or low mood
- Explore grief and loss
- Adjust to caring responsibilities
