St John’s counselling

St John’s counselling is a service in Doncaster

The counselling service supports individuals with a life-limiting illness and their families, offering high-quality, personalised care that addresses emotional, physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs. It aims to empower individuals and carers by providing tailored support.

How we can help

Counselling takes place in a private, confidential setting where a counsellor helps clients explore difficulties such as distress, dissatisfaction, or a loss of direction and purpose. The service offers a range of counselling including:

  • bereavement counselling
  • one-to-one counselling
  • family counselling
  • couple counselling as appropriate

It aims to support individuals in making choices, creating change, or reducing confusion, without giving advice or directing a specific path.

Counsellors offer a non-judgmental space to help patients process overwhelming emotions like anger, anxiety, grief, and embarrassment, providing insight and understanding.

How to get help

The counselling service is confidential and is offered to patients over the age of eighteen who are:

  • patients with cancer or a life limiting condition
  • carers, family members, friends, and children of patients with cancer or a life limiting condition

To accommodate different needs, appointments are available face-to-face, by phone, or online.
