Westerhaven offers a wide range of specialist support services to those affected by cancer and long-term conditions such as COPD and long COVID.

We also provide a service to relatives, carers, and friends of anyone who has received a diagnosis and who may need some support as well as anyone bereaved due to cancer.

Our services include:

• Specialist information and support to help understand your diagnosis and what support you can access.
• Counselling (including bereavement counselling), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and neuro-linguistic programming therapy (NLP)
• Check-in-calls and 1:1 support
• Group yoga therapy and gentle exercise classes
• A group work programme, including courses on taking care of yourself, mindfulness, and anxiety management
• Healthy eating advice
