Complementary therapies

We strongly believe that complementary therapies can work together with medical and nursing care to improve your wellbeing, reduce anxiety and help you to relax.

Complementary treatments are designed to aid relaxation, ease tensions and improve energy levels and may positively help a range of symptoms including pain and discomfort, breathing difficulties, anxiety and insomnia.

We offer a range of complementary therapies including:

Aromatherapy
Indian head massage
Massage
Reflexology
Reiki
Soul Midwives

Other services on offer:

Pastoral care
Counselling and psychosocial services

All services are provided by fully qualified volunteer therapists who will discuss which therapy might help you most and will talk with you about the benefits of each treatment.

Complementary treatments are available by appointment only. If you have a query or you would like to book a session, please contact us on 020 8099 1722. The lines are open from Tuesday to Thursday 9:00-17:00. Answerphone available at other times.

Sutton Donation Centre
Donating goods?

We are delighted to announce that we have now opened all 9 of our shops and we're also accepting donations at our new Donation Centre in Sutton. We would appreciate it if you could take no more than 2 bags to any of our shops, however our Donation Centre is better equipped to manage larger volumes. No appointment is required.
Donate Now

Amidst the first wave of the COVID-19 crisis we made 6 additional beds available to ease capacity for the NHS whilst continuing to support all patients, both in our in-patient unit and in their own homes, in challenging and rapidly changing circumstances. The challenge is financial as well as clinical. We expect that our income may drop by as much as £1.4m this financial year compared to last year. Please help by donating today, by making a regular donation or by joining our lottery. Thank you
