Counselling for Seniors in Fakenham
I am a Systemic and Gestalt counsellor and a registered member of the BACP and I aim to offer a safe and non-judgemental space for clients to explore their feelings. I work with adults and young people. Sometimes we all need help to cope with life's challenges. Therapy can provide the support and framework from which to begin gaining an understanding of yourself and your needs. Talking with a therapist can benefit us in many ways, including giving us a better understanding of our emotions. Therapy can also promote healthy coping mechanisms, improved relationships and achievement of goals.

You may feel depressed, anxious or alone in your problems & fears. Perhaps you struggle with not feeling ‘good enough’ or getting past trauma. I’m here to listen, really understand you/what happened/is still happening, with empathy and no judgement. But I’m also here to help change happen - which can mean challenging & changing unhealthy, unkind views of yourself or just helping reframe the past. The therapy process is often difficult because we feel laid open but I'll be with you & it works! I’ll give you practical tools too to help affect change. With time and patience therapy can help you lead a happier, healthier life.

Perhaps you have been struggling for a while - longer than you might admit. You may be caught in cycles of anxiety or low mood that feel impossible to break, or living with intrusive thoughts that are exhausting to manage. Perhaps you are navigating the emotional challenges of pregnancy or new parenthood, or carrying difficult experiences from the past that still affect you today. You have tried to cope alone. You want something structured and evidence-based - not just to talk, but to understand what is keeping you stuck and learn practical tools to change it. You are ready to do the work.

Hello. I qualified as a person centred therapist in 2013 and feel privileged to have worked with so many individuals for whom life, for whatever reason, has become difficult, confusing or unbearable. Sometimes we have an idea as to why and sometimes we are at a loss. Either way, knowing how to help oneself can be a different matter entirely. I believe I can help.

In my experience, we often come to therapy when we feel stuck in a way of living which has become increasingly difficult and painful to sustain. Perhaps you feel life is simply surviving not thriving; that relationships have become a prison or a battlefield; that you are lost, without purpose or passion; that the future seems more scary than exciting? If any of this resonates with you, my existential approach will help you explore and process any trauma in your past; pain in the present and anxiety about the future. Helping to bring the 'real you' out of hiding and find a more joyful, peaceful and authentic way of living.

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.
