Listening Services

Living Well UK have teamed up with Bethel Health & Healing Network and Karis Neighbour Scheme to deliver Listening Services, a provision for people suffering low level Mental Health Problems and want someone to talk to in confidence.

Karis Listening & Guidance

A confidential space where people are can be valued, truly listened to, and helped to explore issues which are important to them, such as what brings hope, purpose, meaning, inner strength and a sense of belonging.  

Listening and Guidance is based on a whole person approach to health and wellbeing and offers help at the emotional, psychological, spiritual, and social levels. It has been found to be particularly useful by those experiencing loss in their lives, e.g., loss of a relationship, work, health, bereavement, confidence, purpose, wellbeing. Listening and Guidance is offered by Chaplains for Wellbeing.  

Chaplains for wellbeing will…

    • Listen to your story  
    • Hear your concerns and offer reflection and support  
    • Give you space to explore your own spiritual needs  
    • Help you find your own way forward  
    • Provide useful resources  
    • Offer time for relaxation, meditation and if you wish, prayer  
    • Put you in touch with other helpful agencies  

Your first appointment is a chance for you to meet a member of the team. This session may be up to an hour and offers time for one-to-one discussion in a confidential space. Following appointments may be shorter.
