Other Services
Our counselling service is a vital resource for people coping with the emotional impact of a life threatening condition. However, we recognise that some of the people in need of support might benefit from a different approach. With this in mind, we've been working with specialist practitioners to develop new services.
WHYbemindful eight-week mindfulness course (online)
WHYbemindful is an eight-week mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) course specifically aimed at those living with and beyond cancer and their carers, run by practitioner Chris Barker of the University of Exeter. The course was designed by Trish Bartley of Bangor University following her own experience of cancer. Its aim is to help people to use mindfulness in their everyday life and manage their cancer experience.
We don't recommend that participants attend during treatment that may impact energy levels, as there are daily tasks to complete at home alongside the weekly session.

WHYoutdoors is a course exploring the benefits of nature connection for wellbeing, designed for those living with and beyond cancer. Participants meet in a beautiful natural setting and undertake a mixture of solo and group activities. The approach helps people coping with the challenges of a life-threatening diagnosis to increase their emotional and physical wellbeing through time spent in nature, guided by specialist group leaders, who are also professional counsellors.There is shelter at both sites so sessions will go ahead in most weather. Participants need to have a reasonable level of mobility as the woodland site is uneven.
To book a place, please call 01373 455255 or email info@wehearyou.org.uk.
