At Working To Wellbeing, we understand that living with a palliative diagnosis brings complex and deeply personal challenges. Our palliative support service offers a compassionate and tailored approach to each individual’s unique situation whilst also considering their personal goals.

Our team of HCPC-registered clinicians provides holistic support focusing on the psychological, social and physical aspects of wellbeing. We focus on what matters most to the individual whether that’s managing symptoms, maintaining independence, staying active, or navigating work-related decisions, including exiting work.

People who have a terminal illness may want to keep working for any number of reasons.  We support people to be able to do this, helping them to manage their symptoms and side effects from treatment in their work setting  When ready we support them with a phased exit from work. 

What do Working To Wellbeing Provide?

Emotional Support

People who are experiencing emotional difficulties do not always need psychotherapy, rather they would benefit from the opportunity to talk things through, have their feelings validated and be taught the power of compassion, acceptance and problem solving skills.

Work Support

Discussions around work with an employer can be difficult, especially when it comes to exiting work. We can support people to have these difficult conversations with their employer and plan a phased exit from work.

CLINICAL PATHWAYS

  • "I have valued my health coach's support immensely during this challenging time. Learning what is necessary to manage a chronic health condition and learning to put it in place in your life is a challenge and a long process. She has at all times championed my wellbeing and given me useful ways of approaching the changes necessary. I am very glad I was able to access this support and I know I have benefitted from it a great deal."

  • "My vocational rehabilitation coach was incredible. They supported me through all the different phases of my cancer treatment, giving advice on dealing with fatigue, in reframing thoughts, self-care, helping in my decision to have preventative surgery and nerves pre-op, and then recovery afterwards, and then helping in my eventual return to work. Their support was invaluable to myself, my partner and my kids. Having the appointments booked in was helpful - it kept me focused on using the techniques and also gave me a regular point to reflect on my wellbeing."

My health coach, who has been working with me from the beginning of my illness, has been so incredibly supportive and empathetic.
