Bereavement counsellors

BACK
  

A team of twelve bereavement counsellors support the families and friends of patients who have died whilst under the care of Michael Sobell House. They make contact approximately one month after the person has died and counselling can range from a one-off telephone contact, or a single session to a fixed number of sessions.

Our bereavement counsellors see people in Michael Sobell House, or visit them in their own homes if necessary. They aim to help by listening; allowing expression of feeling and making sense of whatever the grieving person is experiencing.

Periodic coffee evenings allow people to return to Michael Sobell House for mutual support and the opportunity to regain confidence in a social setting.
