We all need help at times. Sometimes it can feel like everything's been thrown into the air and the pieces just haven't settled well, or like they'll never fit properly again. Illness, loss and grief, relationship challenges, losing a job, moving house, stress at work, questioning life choices, retirement - whatever the change, we can feel stuck, lost or uncertain about what comes next and who we are. Therapy provides a space to recognise the impact of these changes, make sense of your feelings and explore how they're affecting you, and identify the strengths that will get you through these challenges so you can feel more at ease.

Distress can express itself in many ways: through our bodies, emotions, minds, and in our relationships. Sometimes we can readily name the cause; at other times, it may take the form of conflicts that are harder to name, but no less real.
In my work, I meet people grappling with many such concerns: difficulties in relationships, the legacies of trauma, questions of identity, struggles with body and mind. What matters is the experience of suffering and the wish for change.

I have a keen interest in working with women who are struggling with the demands of the environment they find themselves in. That could be for a number of reasons; perhaps the pressures of a successful career feel heavy, overwhelming challenges of a toxic workplace, navigating your relationships successfully, feeling the pressure of juggling parenthood, feeling burnout with the challenges of raising a neurodivergent family or maybe you have recently discovered you're neurodivergent yourself and you are feeling the sadness an overlooked childhood that has left you questioning your identity, struggling to know how you move forward.

What can a geriatric psychologist help with?
Geriatric therapists specialise in the cognitive and neurological challenges that often accompany aging, including dementia, memory loss, and age-related cognitive decline. They also address the psychological conditions that frequently co-occur with these issues, such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Geriatric therapists and psychologists are trained to assess cognitive functioning, identify symptoms that may warrant further evaluation, and conduct or refer for formal neurological assessment when needed. In many cases, geriatric therapists also work closely with medical doctors to manage a client's overall health, and they may support caregivers and family members navigating the demands of caring for an aging loved one.
Why might someone seek a geriatric psychologist?
Someone might seek a geriatric therapist when they or a loved one begins experiencing cognitive or neurological changes and is unsure whether those changes are a normal part of aging or something that requires clinical attention. A geriatric therapist can help connect families with appropriate next steps. They are also commonly sought following a new diagnosis, when clients and families are working to understand what that diagnosis means practically and emotionally, and what to expect as a condition progresses. When seeking a therapist, it can be helpful to consider whether a clinician with a stronger psychotherapy focus or one with more of a social work orientation, who can help connect clients with assisted living or medical resources, would be the better fit.
What type of therapy might a geriatric therapists specialise in?
Geriatric therapist often combine psychotherapy with psychoeducation, helping clients and their families understand cognitive and neurological conditions and what to expect as they progress. For clients experiencing anxiety or depression alongside cognitive decline, therapists may draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based approaches. For clients with dementia specifically, therapists may be trained in specialised modalities such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), which is designed to preserve cognitive functioning.
Can geriatric psychologists help people who suffer from dementia?
Yes, and this is a core area of geriatric psychology. Therapists specialising in dementia can work directly with clients on memory loss and cognitive functioning, while also addressing conditions that commonly co-occur, such as depression and anxiety. They can provide caregivers with objective assessments of a client's functioning and disease progression, and are typically well-versed in community resources available to dementia patients and their families.
