About the service
A hospital admission, whether planned or emergency, can brings uncertainty, and stress for the whole family. Our ward counselling service provides a safe space for children and families to talk through their feelings, worries, and concerns with a trained counsellor. We help families process their emotions, develop coping strategies, and maintain their emotional wellbeing during challenging times.
Who it's for
How to access it
What to expect
A counselling session is a confidential, one-to-one conversation with a trained counsellor. You get to set the pace, share as much or as little as you're comfortable with. The counsellor won't judge; they're there to listen, help you explore your feelings, and work with you on practical strategies to cope. Sessions typically last X minutes.
