Noda Services
Emotional Support
We offer emotional support and companionship to those who are experiencing any kind of crisis, or dying and alone. We support families too by offering a break, stepping in when they are unable to be with them and vigiling for people in the final hours, also offering support from the moment of diagnosis.
Companionship
Our aim is to provide compassion and loving support, relieving the loneliness and isolation of anyone facing crisis or end of life issues. We do this through our psychotherapeutic and holistic approach to wellbeing. Also offering a wide range of support groups, training and development opportunities.
Wellbeing groups
Our wellbeing groups are peer led and provide a safe space for members of the group to talk, share experiences and build their skills. As facilitators we uphold the rules and boundaries of the group and hold the space, allowing the members to lead. At the moment we have a drama, singing, women's group and two bereavement groups running and a reiki share. Please keep an eye on our Facebook page for any changes or join our mailing list.
Paths For All
We run regular health walks which are open to everyone to help build a compassionate community and to stay fit and healthy.
Please email or telephone for details of our next walk. More information can be found at Paths For All.

Student Therapist

Providing urgent emotional and mental health support to any member of the public facing challenges or difficulties through offering cbt (cognitive behavioural therapy).
