However, I also offer concessional counselling sessions for £35 per session for geriatric and seniors, people on a low income, people who are unemployed, keyworkers, trainee counsellors and students.
Have you suffered a bereavement, are you going through the loss of a loved one or have you experienced other losses throughout your life like the loss of a pet, relationships ending or redundancy? These can cause a mixture of feelings like sadness, loneliness, anxiety, anger, or depression and they might feel overwhelming, and you may not know how to deal with them or process what has happened. You may want to talk about your loved ones but feel unable or uncomfortable doing this with other people in your life. Our sessions are your time to talk about your feelings and remember who or what you have lost.

Welcome. I work with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed at times and are finding it difficult to balance the challenges of everyday life. Does that sound like you? Feelings of anxiety or low self esteem can make you feel at times helpless and misunderstood. You may have suffered a recent loss or trauma from which you feel 'stuck', you may be struggling to understand past or current experiences or relationships. There are many reasons why we need to reach out for help during times of confusion and pain and you do not have to face them alone.

We sometimes find it difficult to cope with the things that life throws at us, be it relationship issues, health problems, self esteem and self doubt, anxiety, depression, panic attacks or phobias. Sometimes we just need a safe space where we can explore and talk about the things that worry us with someone who can help us find our own way through the struggle in an empathic and totally non-judgmental way. I am a fully integrative psychotherapist offering counselling and hypnotherapy in a calm, mindful and supportive environment.

We all need support in our lives. Whether a new, smalIer challenge, or a historic larger one, if it's a problem for you then it's a problem for me. I believe in simple terminology and minimal labels. When we speak from the heart, although not always easy, it can be the first step in unburdening ourselves and validating our feelings. I'm a strong believer in talking therapy. Often we don't want to burden friends and family or it can be painful to share certain issues with them.

Geriatric and Seniors Counsellors

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, dementia, and physical mobility challenges.

How can geriatric 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.

How is counselling for elderly different from counseling for other age groups?

Many aspects of geriatric counselling are similar to counselling in younger 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. However, therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients 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.

Can geriatric counselling help people who suffer from dementia?

Counselling can be highly effective for aging adults with dementia. While some therapists specialising in dementia may work with clients solely on topics surrounding memory loss, they can also assist clients with conditions that may co-occur at old age, such as anxiety or depression. Counsellors specialising in working with older adults can also offer an objective assessment of a client’s functioning or disease progression to caregivers, and they may be particularly knowledgeable about community resources that may benefit dementia clients and their families. Therapists specialising in dementia may also be trained in specialised forms of therapy for memory loss, such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST)—which can help mentally stimulate dementia clients to preserve cognitive functioning.
