Psychology (Palliative Care)
What We Do
Our Oncology and Palliative Care Psychology Service provides specialist psychological support for patients and their carers who are dealing with a life-limiting illness. We understand that a serious diagnosis affects a person’s entire life, not just their physical health.
We offer a variety of support methods to help you cope with the emotional and mental challenges that can arise from a serious illness. This includes:
- Individual support
- Couples and family therapy
- Group therapy
Our team of highly trained healthcare professionals provides a confidential space for you to talk about your feelings and thoughts. Seeing a psychologist is not a sign of weakness; it’s a way for ordinary people to cope with the extraordinary stresses of illness and its treatment. Our services are available to patients, their families, and their carers.
Where We Are Based
We offer appointments at a number of locations across Walsall to make our service as accessible as possible.
- Walsall Manor Hospital
