How does counselling work?
For many people counselling may be something, which they have never previously experienced – and could be something that they are unsure about.
There is no expectation for someone to talk about something they are not comfortable to discuss.
Our counsellors will always work is a respectful way that meets a person’s needs and use an approach that is unique to each person, going at their own pace.

Children and young people
Children are also affected by a close relative’s illness, and may need help to express how they feel, gain a greater understanding and work through and prepare for what may come.
Our counsellors work directly with children and young people and can offer the family advice and support, in how best to support them.
If you would like to be referred for counselling please speak to your loved one’s hospice professional.
