Therapeutic support at ellenor
Music and play therapy, and bereavement support for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families.
We offer music and play therapy, and bereavement support for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families.
Bereavement Support
We all experience bereavement at some stage of our lives, and it can leave many people feeling at their most vulnerable. The level of bereavement care and its nature vary greatly from person to person, and whilst many need social support, other people may also need counselling, practical information or expert advice.
At ellenor, we understand that everyone experiences bereavement differently, which is why we offer a number of different wellbeing support services to help those who need it. We provide counselling and bereavement support for relatives and close friends of our patients, to ensure that you receive the support that you need during this difficult time.
Our one-to-one counselling sessions are available during this time of transition, as well as informal weekly coffee mornings for the bereaved. If you prefer to meet others who are experiencing similar emotions, we also host a number of Bereavement Cuppa and Group meeting events. We also have smaller groups which are designed specifically for parents who have lost a child.
Play Therapy
Play therapy is a therapeutic approach to help children express their feelings. Our play sessions are tailored to promote choice and to develop skills. Our team works hard to ensure that all play activities are appropriate to your child’s age, ability and culture, so that they feel the full benefit of our sessions.
This is an opportunity for children to explore painful feelings, and to understand traumatic experiences which they may not be able to discuss in words. At ellenor, we have a Play Therapy room, or one of our specialists can visit your child at home or school if preferred.
