Feeling as though you have lost something of yourself is a lonely and disorientating place to be. A recent experience such as a relationship problem, work related stress, illness, or a bereavement may have brought you to this place, or a negative experience in your past may have contributed to you feeling this way throughout life. Working through these things, and through any symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, shame, or grief, can help you feel more whole, and to make changes for the future.

Hi, I'm Asher! I'm a queer therapist working online with LGBTQIA+ people across the UK. My practice is informed by lived experience of queerness, neurodiversity, disability and the mental health system. This includes personal experience of therapy that has been deeply helpful, practices that have caused harm, and many spaces in between. I’m also autistic and was diagnosed as an adult, so I have a particular interest in working with late-diagnosed, self-diagnosed and questioning non-neurotypical people.

Thank you for checking out my profile. I work with adults and have a lengthy career history working across a range of issues. I predominantly use trauma therapy to help clients move forward but utilise a range of tools as required. In private practice I have worked with adult survivors of childhood abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, sudden death, accidents and suicide of loved ones. Clients may be unsure as to what their needs are, they simply want to feel better. We will explore this and identify targets for our work together. The initial discussion/meeting helps us to establish if I'm the right therapist for your needs.

Finding a counsellor can feel like an absolute minefield. When you are already stressed, or feeling low, scrolling through pages of profiles can leave you feeling more overwhelmed than when you started. It’s difficult to know what you’re actually looking for, let alone whether the person on the other end is someone you can genuinely connect with. Therapy with me is a down-to-earth, collaborative conversation. I offer a confidential space where you can be heard, and say the messy things out loud, paired with practical, tools to help you to understand what's going on underneath and how make actual changes.

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.
