Supporting you through every step

At St. Michael’s Hospice, we recognise that a life-limiting illness affects more than just physical health – it touches every part of life for patients, family members, friends and carers. 

Our Patient and Family Support services are designed to offer compassionate, holistic care that addresses practical challenges, emotional wellbeing, spiritual needs and social support for anyone already known to the hospice. Through services such as counselling, complementary therapies and chaplaincy, our dedicated team of professionals and volunteers aims to help you and your loved ones navigate the complexities of serious illness with dignity, understanding and comfort.

Who can access the Patient and Family Support Team?

The Patient and Family Support services are available to patients already known to St. Michael’s Hospice, their family, friends, and carers.

The Chaplaincy Service offers listening, emotional and spiritual support for patients and their families and friends on the Inpatient Unit and in the community. We are there to explore questions that arise when affected by a life-limiting illness, or just to have a chat about things that matter to you. We are available in a totally non-judgmental way for people of all beliefs.

Complementary therapies are gentle treatments used alongside conventional treatment in order to relieve stress and tension and to aid relaxation. These therapies can provide emotional support and may also help with the relief of physical symptoms, enhancing wellbeing and quality of life. Our Complementary Therapists offer treatments on the Inpatient Unit and in our outpatient facility, The Turner Centre.

Our Complementary Therapies

Our Counselling service is offered to all those that are affected by a life-limiting illness and for those that have to cope with grief after loss. We can provide one-to-one counselling sessions where patients and relatives can talk about their experience and what’s important to them.

Our counsellors are registered with the appropriate professional bodies and will work with you in a confidential setting.
