Wellbeing Practitioner Services
Our team is here to help you through this time, offering space to talk, support with difficult decisions, and guidance with practical concerns. We support patients, family members, carers, and loved ones.
At Farleigh Hospice, our Wellbeing services support the whole person, not just their illness. We understand that living with a life-limiting condition can affect physical, emotional, social, financial and spiritual wellbeing.
Our holistic approach focuses on what matters most to each individual, helping people to live as well as possible for as long as possible.
Our services are available early in the palliative care journey and offer practical support, self-care guidance and therapeutic activities that help manage symptoms, reduce anxiety and support a sense of control and wellbeing.
We also provide support for families and carers, recognising the challenges they may face during illness and beyond.
