Health and Wellbeing Service

Living well with a long-term condition.

Our Health and Wellbeing Service works with people who are experiencing stress, anxiety and low mood, who are also living with a long-term physical health condition.

Living with a long-term condition can be challenging. Many people with long-term conditions or persistent physical symptoms like chronic pain or fatigue can experience times when they feel worried, stressed or down.

Feeling like this can change how you think and feel about yourself and impact on what you do in your daily life. These feelings can also make it harder for you to feel in control of, and manage, your long-term condition the way you want to.  

The video below gives you a quick introduction to the Health and Wellbeing Service and how we can support you.

Our Health and Wellbeing Service works with people who are experiencing stress, anxiety and low mood and who are living with any of the long-term conditions listed in the section below.

We offer a Mindfulness for Health course which teaches mindfulness practices to help you manage your long-term condition.

You can also access a range of self-help resources, such as guides and audiobooks, if you would prefer to try things on your own first.

If you are concerned about any aspect of your health, particularly your medical treatment or changes to your symptoms we would advise you to see your GP or other healthcare professional for advice.
