Our Individual and Family Support service will help you, your family and carers throughout your time with us.
We also hold support groups and offer spiritual care.
Emotional Support
Individual and Family Support
A life-limiting or life-threatening illness is emotionally and mentally challenging.
Our team of psychotherapists and counsellors will help you come to terms with your illness, helping you to understand your emotions. We do not stop caring for you during or after remission or bereavement, but work with you to support you, your family and carers as you process and come to terms with what you have experienced. We help you to rebuild your life.
We offer:
- Individual therapy
- Couples therapy
For more information about Individual and Family Support please email counselling@sbhospice.org.uk.
Emotional Support
Spiritual Care
Spiritual beliefs and faith can be a source of strength.
Often when a person is diagnosed with a life-limiting or life-threatening illness, they may seek solace in a faith that they follow or have lost.
Living with a serious illness can cause you to question your beliefs. We provide support for our patients, their families and carers in search of meaning and hope. The most common question is ‘why?’. Our spiritual care team are here for people of all faiths, or none.
For more information about our spiritual care please email spiritualcare@sbhospice.org.uk.
