What this Trial Is About
The investigators have developed a new counselling service that focuses on the emotional distress experienced by people living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (\*COPD\*). The new programme is led by an advanced practice nursing (\*APN\*) team. Other professionals are involved in the programme, such as medical staff and physiotherapists. The new counselling service lasts three months. Patients will receive ten counselling sessions with a specialized nurse. The overall objective of the study is to assess the feasibility of the newly developed emotional-distress-based integrated care programme.
