Our counselling service is a vital resource for people coping with the emotional impact of a life-threatening condition. However, we recognise that some of the people in need of support might benefit from a different approach. With this in mind, we've been working with specialist practitioners to develop new services.
Our eight-week mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) courses offer an opportunity for people affected directly or indirectly by a life-threatening condition to learn tools and techniques to reduce stress and boost emotional wellbeing.
