The service offers support to patients under the care of the Hospice, as well as their carers and family members. The team will see people individually or in any type of family group and will work with any age group including young children.
We can support adults who have a responsibility for children and young people, helping with what to say to them and how to support them through the period of someone being ill and on into the bereavement period.
Once referred, the person will have an assessment appointment, following which they will be allocated to a therapist, a student therapist on placement or a volunteer. The person may also be asked to join a group.
