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.
Our eight-week mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) courses offer an opportunity for people affected directly or indirectly by a life-threatening condition to learn tools and techniques to reduce stress and boost emotional wellbeing.

The Coffee Connection
WHY launched a new drop-in support group for anyone affected or bereaved by cancer or a life-limiting illness in December 2019, in partnership with Dorothy House Hospice Care. The group meets on Tuesday mornings from 10am to 12pm in the cafe of the Cheese and Grain, Frome.
Online meetings: The Coffee Connection also meets online on a Monday between 10am and 10.45am - please email us for the link to join.
There are always representatives of Dorothy House and WHY at the group for those who would like to ask about additional support available. No booking required, just come along!
Family support calls
We recognise that when faced with a new diagnosis or a recent bereavement, it can be difficult to know what individual family members might need in the way of counselling and therapy. Everybody responds differently and there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. We therefore offer up to six half-hour telephone sessions to discuss what you are experiencing in more detail. This provides an opportunity for us to talk about the range of services we offer and to see what might be right for you, and for each member of your family. We can help you think about how to talk to your children about what is happening and explore whether school or other support services may be available.
Call 01373 455255 or info@wehearyou.org.uk.
WHYwalkandtalk
WHYwalkandtalk is an opportunity to access one-to-one counselling with a member of our specialist team, while walking (or sitting) in a beautiful natural setting. We hope this new service will enable more people to access our support, in a way that suits them. Call us on 01373 455255 or email info@wehearyou.org.uk for more information.
