Living with Long-term Conditions

Next course will start on 4th August and will take place live on zoom. Register here Once you’ve registered, we’ll be in touch for a quick phone call with you to answer any queries and to tell you a little bit more about what’s involved, so you know what to expect before the first session. If you haven’t used zoom before (or in a while), we can help you get a bit familiar with it before the first session.

Living with a long-term condition isn’t plain sailing and we don’t always get the support we need when things get tough.

This course is for anyone living with a long-term physical condition and who wants to find ways of managing and improving their psychological wellbeing. Conditions may include:

  •     Arthritis
  •     Back pain
  •     Fibromyalgia
  •     Diabetes
  •     Heart disease
  •     Asthma
  •     Crohn’s
  •     Epilepsy

The course will teach you tools to help you handle your emotions and tackle difficulties you might be facing now, or in the future. These might be directly related to your illness or condition, or could be other challenges entirely. The great thing about these techniques is that you can apply them across all areas of your life. We meet each week for two hours a week and there are six sessions in total.

You’ll learn different stress and mood management skills, ways to better handle fears and worries, relaxation techniques, and get help to make positive plans for the future.

Courses are interactive, engaging and fun.

I found the course much more helpful than I expected. I feel I can help myself relax and deal with my health issues more now than ever before.

If you can’t make these dates, you can sign up to our waitlist and we can let you know about future dates when they are confirmed.
