Spiritual & Pastoral Care

Everyone needs support, connection, and a sense of meaning in their lives. Our spiritual and pastoral care service is here to offer free and confidential support for clients and their families. 

How we can help

Spiritual and pastoral care looks different for everyone. For some, it’s having a compassionate person to talk to. For others, it’s connecting more deeply with family, community, or faith. Whatever your beliefs, background, or life experiences, we’re here to provide support that respects your values, honours your experiences, and helps you find comfort, hope, and connection.

Find support, connection and comfort.

Life is a journey filled with joy, challenges, and moments of reflection. During times of change, loss, or uncertainty, having someone to listen, offer guidance, or simply share in your experiences can bring deep comfort and reassurance.

Spiritual and pastoral care program

We celebrate spiritual and cultural diversity, offering care for people of all faiths, traditions, and beliefs, as well as those without a religious background. Our approach is person-centred, acknowledging the human need for belonging, purpose, and support in life’s difficult moments.

Our trained and professional pastoral care practitioners are here to assist with:

Emotional and wellbeing support

  • Coping with stress, loneliness, or isolation
  • Support through grief and bereavement
  • Guidance for carers who need a compassionate ear
  • Connection to community services and resources.

Spiritual and faith-based support

  • Support in exploring faith, meaning, and purpose
  • Connection to religious groups, clergy, and spiritual resources
  • Prayer, meditation, and spiritual direction
  • Ceremonies, rituals, and sacred practices.

Support during life's challenges
