PSYCHOTHERAPY
Uses psychological techniques for therapeutic gain to help manage a variety of mental, emotional and physical problems, including anxiety, panic attacks, depression and irritable bowel syndrome.

Hospice patients often have emotional as well as physical discomfort as a result of their condition. Psychotherapy allows you talk about your feelings at length, and goes on to relieve the emotional problems generated by physical illness.

Psychological Support Services for Cancer Care
The Hypno-chemo programme offers 12-structured sessions of psychological support for cancer sufferers. Hypnotherapy is used to teach relaxation, prepare for and treat the side effects of chemotherapy; whilst guided imagery gives you a ‘tool’ with which to fight cancer cells. Cognitive behaviour therapy is used to identify and treat the emotional problems associated with cancer and its treatments.

Group Relaxation
Patients are able to learn a range of relaxation techniques to help deal with pain and/or emotional suffering.
