At times when life can feel overwhelming, having clear information and guidance can bring a sense of reassurance and control.
Our sessions and resources are here to help you think about what matters most, explore your options, and make plans that feel right for you.
Sometimes we just need to know what to do and how to do it.
Informative Groups
When a lot is happening around you, our sessions offer a calm space to pause, reflect, and talk things through. They’re an opportunity to express your wishes, feel heard, and regain a sense of choice.
Choices
This interactive course is designed for people newly referred to our service. It gives you the chance to explore different therapies and sessions and find out what support is available—helping you make informed decisions about your care and wellbeing.
Planning Ahead: Advance Care Planning
Thinking ahead can feel daunting, but it can also bring comfort—helping ensure your wishes are understood and respected.
There are a number of ways to record your thoughts, including advance decisions, advance statements, and living wills. We run sessions to guide you through your choices.

Legal Power of Attorney
Letting someone know what matters most to you can provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones. Appointing a Lasting Power of Attorney means someone you trust can make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to.
Financial Support
We understand that financial worries can add extra pressure during an already difficult time. There are organisations and resources available to help you manage money, understand benefits, and access support when you need it.

Some people find comfort in planning ahead, knowing their wishes are clearly set out for their loved ones. Resources from organisations such as Age UK can help guide you through this in a gentle and practical way.
