When you first come to the Centre you will be offered information about all the different types of support available so that you are clear about what is available to you and can make a choice about what will help you through this difficult time. Sometimes, this one chance to talk is enough, or you may decide on further help, such as:
… Books and resources to help you through this difficult time, together with information about what you can expect during serious illness or bereavement.
… A chance to meet others facing bereavement at our coffee mornings and evenings.
… Counselling with one of our experienced team of counsellors on a one to one basis.
… A listening ear and informal support from one of our Companion volunteers.
… COASTAL – our adult grief group programme.
… CASCADE – our support service for children facing bereavement.
... Information Pack - Helping to support bereaved children.
… Clinical psychology for patients facing serious and life threatening illness.
… Informal Support Groups led by Service Users.

The counsellor will explain at the appointment about how long you have to wait for different services and how we manage waiting times. If you are on a waiting list for any of our services, you will be contacted by letter or phone to advise you when you have reached the top of the list.
We offer a range of support in our purpose built unit, the Linden Centre.
Counselling appointments available during office hours but some out of hours appointments may be available.
