Maybe you are feeling anxious or depressed or have experienced traumatic life-events and are looking for a safe and confidential space where you can mentally re-group and begin to thrive rather than just survive life's challenges.

Together we can carefully explore how you really feel and identify any changes you might want to make.

Hello, we are Rachael & Clare and together we are the co-founders of TEDS, Trauma & Eating Disorder Specialists. We are a private therapy service for individuals aged sixteen and above who are looking for a unique approach to support them in finding their path to recovery, whatever that may look like. We understand the journey is complex and varies from person to person.

Hello and Welcome, Life can indeed be difficult at times. Many are struggling with mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings can rise to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a PHD(Hon), Master Degree and EMDR(Accredited), I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

It's a 'given' that life is complex. Finding a solution to difficulties can be so challenging, perhaps seemingly 'impossible'. However, nothing is impossible .... the very word itself tells us - "I'm-possible!"

Many people come to therapy during times of transition, uncertainty, or emotional strain. They may be facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, loss, or the complex process of adapting to life in a new environment. Often they feel caught in repeating patterns or disconnected from their own needs and emotions. Together we explore these experiences with care and curiosity, helping clients develop deeper self-understanding, restore emotional balance, and move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and confidence.

Are you finding it hard to cope, feeling anxious, overwhelmed or burnt out. Or do you have a sense of being stuck?
Perhaps life has changed somehow, leaving you feeling lost, lonely, or managing a lot for the people around you, but quietly struggling yourself.
I work with adults and young people dealing with anxiety, ADHD, autism, trauma, bereavement, chronic illness, and the aftermath of sexual abuse. I also support people who are caring for a neurodivergent child or young person with mental health challenges, or an ageing parent — demanding roles that can quietly erode your confidence, wellbeing and sense of self over time.

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.
