🌿 Forest Therapy Counselling Group Sessions

"Being in the forest and reflecting on everything around me gave a sense of calm and peace which has been missing... Just the act of being surrounded by nature, with a group of people who didn’t judge if I cried, made me feel safe and relaxed."

At East Cheshire Hospice, we offer Forest Therapy Counselling Group Sessions for adults grieving the loss of someone close who received care or support from the Hospice.

Led by BACP-accredited therapists, these small group sessions gently support individuals through their grief journey in the healing surroundings of nature.

🕒 Six sessions, 1.5 hours each (our next session will start in August)
🌲 Specialist bereavement support in a safe, natural setting
💬 “I would highly recommend these sessions for anyone who has lost someone close to them…”

📩 To enquire, email: cmicb_cheshire.echospicefsbereavement@nhs.net or call 01625 708 936

Support is available to carers, family and close friends of people who died within the last three years and accessed Hospice services in some way.

💛 A space to talk, connect and remember - our STAR group is taking place today 2-4pm🌻

Grief can feel incredibly isolating, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Our Share, Talk and Remember group is here to offer a warm, welcoming environment where you can come together with others who understand what you're going through.

Whether you’d like to talk, listen or simply be with others who’ve experienced loss, this group is open to anyone who has lost a loved one.

If you or someone you know could benefit from this kind of support, we’d love to welcome you. No one should have to face grief on their own.

📞 For more details or to express interest, please contact Amy Williams on 01625 665688 or email: amy.williams@echospice.org.uk
