We use that information collected for a couple of reasons: to tell you about our services you’ve asked us to tell you about; to contact you to make an appointment or if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right; to tell you about new services we are providing and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied. We don't rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.

We require your personal information and contact details in order to provide a smooth running and professional service. We hold a record of the services you’ve signed up for and used and will usually make a note of any feedback that you or our staff and facilitators give. If we think it’s important, we may also record what you tell us about you feelings, emotions, health and personal relationships, so please tell us if you don’t want this recorded, if and when you talk about these things with our staff.

Certain information such as demographics (date of birth, gender, ethnicity etc) are used for the reports we have to send to the people who fund us. You may choose not to disclose this information and it wont affect what services we can give you, but we do have to ask. When we send a report, it’s all anonymous, so we don’t send our funders information from which they could identify you, but we do have to hold this information on our systems in order to produce these reports.

Some of our one-to-one HIV services ask for a contribution towards the costs of running them. We may use information about your employment or benefit status to decide whether to ask for this contribution.

In normal circumstances, Living Well will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information, except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it. We will not transfer your information overseas, however, data is stored in a secure cloud based on the internet. For some contracts we will have a written data-sharing agreement or contract in place that will end at the end of each service contract.

Counselling

One-to-one counselling is a talking therapy that involves a trained therapist listening to you and helping you find ways to deal with emotional issues in a relaxed, non-judgemental and confidential environment.

All our counsellors are members of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) or the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

Coaching Programme

The main aim of our Coaching Programme is to support people who may be experiencing loneliness and isolation. The six session programme is based on key principles of psychological wellbeing and positive psychology – with online sessions delivered on Zoom at the same time each week, for six weeks.

This fun and interactive support programme gives participants a platform to engage with peers as well as learning and sharing new tools and strategies to improve their day-to-day experience during times of loneliness and isolation.

Topics covered by the programme help support people’s positive mental health, which is essential for us to be able to make connections and take real steps to change our experience. While practical strategies and mini-goals, which are included in every session, are focused on reducing social isolation and loneliness.

Art Therapy

Art Therapy is a fun creative process where art-making and psychotherapy combine to aid individual growth, awareness and healing.
