Location

Bristol

Description

The Harbour provides specialist counselling and psychotherapy for adults affected by life‑threatening illness, either as patients, carers or loved ones, as well as for people bereaved within the last two years. Clients receive an assessment to explore their situation, history, support networks, risks and hopes for therapy, along with standard clinical measures. Those suitable for the service may be offered individual, couples or group therapy. Reviews take place mid‑way through treatment, and client feedback informs ongoing supervision. The service is delivered in central Bristol, online and by phone, and is described as a unique local provider offering in‑depth support before and after bereavement, backed by long‑standing partnerships across health and voluntary sectors and over three decades of specialist experience.
