What I can offer, Integrative therapy:
Integrative therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that combines different elements of specific therapies making it one of the most effective forms of counselling.
A central part of counselling is around building a relationship of trust; without the fear of being dismissed, judged, or rejected.
Counselling tends to focus on how we feel emotionally allowing us to reflect and validate our feelings.
When we are going through difficult times we all need someone to be there; to listen with compassion and an understanding.

What is a long term condition?
A long-term condition is an illness that cannot be cured but can usually be controlled with medicines or other treatments. Examples of long-term conditions include arthritis, asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, angina, heart failure, high blood pressure, Mental Health problems, Migraines, PMT,Allergies, , Chronic fatigue syndrome/ME, Depression, Dementia, Chronic kidney disease and Chronic pain etc.

There is a strong link between physical long term conditions and psychological distress/disorder. Mental health problems are much more common in those with physical illnesses. Compared with the general population, People with two or more long term conditions are seven times more likely to have depression.

Living with a long term condition
Having a health condition, you might become sad and discouraged. Perhaps you are thinking about activities you’re no longer able to do – and your mood drops. Perhaps you have reduced activities in order to avoid pain.
You might have difficulty keeping a sense of connection to family, friends or others. This can happen in a few ways. Maybe you’ve been withdrawing from others because of low mood or anxiety – you feel so discouraged and worried that it’s hard to be with other people. Or, maybe you think others don’t want to be around you. If you avoid social contact because of low mood or discouragement, you may find yourself cut off from others. This kind of isolation has been shown to worsen mood, which can lead to a vicious cycle:
Sometimes it’s hard to reach out to people because you’ve always been independent, and you find it hard to depend on others.

But if you don’t reach out to others, they may not realize that you need their support.
