Counselling for Seniors in Ash
Life can feel messy, confusing, or stuck — and that’s exactly what we’ll explore. Counselling with me isn’t about fixing you; it’s noticing the quirks, contradictions, and hidden patterns that make you… you. Expect curious conversation, gentle reflection, laughter where needed, and those tiny “oh… that actually makes sense” moments. I’m warm, approachable, a little unconventional, and fully focused on helping you understand yourself and shift in ways that actually stick. I work with adults and children aged 11 plus.

Are you experiencing a difficult or challenging time in your life? Perhaps you are feeling stuck and unable to move forward? Whatever your reason for considering therapy and viewing my profile, it is often the case that we 'hit the wall' or 'crash' emotionally before we can identify that we may need professional support. When our usual coping mechanisms no longer work the struggle can be overwhelming. As your therapist I recognise this as your first and critical step toward positive change. You are, I'm sure, familiar with the phrase 'if you do what you've always done...you get what you've always got' and how true it is.....

I work with people who want to understand themselves more deeply, not only to reduce anxiety or low mood, but to make sense of who they are, their relationships, and how they want to live.
Often, this includes people who are already quite reflective, but find that thinking alone hasn’t led to the clarity or change they’re looking for. There may be a sense of feeling stuck, unsettled, or unsure of direction, even when things appear to be functioning on the surface.

Hi, I’m Jayne.
You might be navigating the loss of a relationship or someone close to you, feeling stuck in a situation that no longer fits, or carrying a weight that’s hard to name. Life can look fine on the outside, but inside feel unsettled or quietly overwhelming.
I support people who may appear to be coping on the outside, but feel overwhelmed or stuck underneath — including those who have felt misunderstood or under pressure to manage alone. These feelings might follow loss, relationship endings, or work-related stress, or a long-standing sense that something isn’t quite right.

I don’t believe people need fixing. I believe the ways we cope, relate and protect ourselves often make sense when we understand what we have lived through. I work with adults who may be carrying the effects of trauma, domestic abuse, loss, disability or sight loss, difficult relationships or major life change. You may feel stuck in familiar patterns, disconnected from yourself, or unsure why certain experiences still affect you. Together, we can make sense of what has shaped you and explore what you need now with curiosity and compassion.

Bereavement, displacement, loss and trauma are as real to you as you have experienced them. Whilst the thought of counselling can be overwhelming, it is important to allow yourself the permission to literally breathe through events as you talk about them. My Integrative practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy draws from the therapeutic approaches of Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT). Therefore as you decide on the issues that have brought you to therapy, I will endeavour to offer a safe, confidential and co-created space to help us explore what you share, as you navigate towards wholeness.

As a therapeutic counsellor I can offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment where you are able to explore your thoughts and feelings openly. Having a space to talk about whatever is happening for you with an impartial, trusted and in a confidential setting can be beneficial.
During our lives we encounter loss including bereavement, separation, ill health and relationship or transitional difficulties. All these external factors can and will affect how we relate to others, the world around us and most importantly ourselves.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.
How is counselling for elderly different from counselling for other age groups?
In general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.
How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.
What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counsellors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counsellors specialising in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counsellors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
