This is a 10-week online group (via Zoom) aimed at those with a long term health condition, which we run together with Westminster Talking Therapies.

Drawing on ACT, CBT and CFT concepts, this group aims to support people to improve their self-management and improve their quality of life with their condition.

Content includes:

• Identifying what’s important when our health limits us
• Looking at our pattern of activity as a way of managing health symptoms
• Identifying and addressing unhelpful thinking patterns/ways of relating to our health that make it hard to improve our wellbeing
• Knowing when to problem solve and when to let go of the struggle with our health
• Finding ways to communicate with loved ones and professionals about our health; in order to foster helpful relationships and aid our ability to self-manage
• Managing high levels of emotional distress with our health – learning when to follow what our emotions are telling us about our health and when to move through them
• Managing worries and regrets
