Dementia Counselling in Tamworth

Deciding upon counselling-or even asking for help is not an easy step to take. When you feel ready to take that first step, I will help you take time out, by creating a safe environment where you will be seen, heard and can talk things through at your own pace. This really can make all the difference. You will find yourself in a warm, confidential and non-judgemental setting where we can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, especially those that may feel too difficult to share with friends or family. Your 50 minute session is personalised to meet your needs and focuses on what you would like to discuss.

My goal is to help and support you to develop healthy coping strategies, become more self-aware and experience personal growth. I offer tailor-made therapy that is as individual and unique as you are. Therapy shouldn't just benefit you whilst in session but continue to support you outside of the sessions too. This is achieved by using a combination of talking therapy, worksheets and practical exercises. You can always call me if you are struggling in between sessions. Do you invest more time, love and attention in others than yourself? Then perhaps it is time for you to invest in yourself.

Dementia Counsellors
Can dementia patients benefit from counselling?
Dementia patients can often benefit significantly from counselling. While neurologists typically treat dementia itself, counsellors provide crucial emotional support for patients and their families. Therapists specializing in dementia can help clients navigate aging, end-of-life issues, social isolation, sleep challenges, and grief. They can also assist clients in adapting to the disease by addressing caregiving concerns and supporting family members. Counsellors will often also collaborate with a patient's neurologist or other medical providers to manage dementia symptoms and medication needs.

How can you tell if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's?
To determine if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's disease, there are several signs and diagnostic methods that medical professionals use. Early signs of dementia often include memory loss, difficulty with problem-solving, and challenges in completing familiar tasks. Diagnosing dementia or Alzheimer's requires a comprehensive approach, as there is no single definitive test, and initial diagnosis can sometimes be difficult as symptoms tend to worsen progressively over time. To make a diagnosis, medical professionals typically use a combination of methods, including standardized questionnaires and cognitive tests to assess memory, attention, and problem-solving skills, psychiatric evaluations to understand mental health status, brain scans to look for physical changes in the brain, as well as other medical tests to rule out other conditions.

What are the first-line treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease?
There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but catching the disease in its early-to-moderate phases can be beneficial in order to initiate first-line treatments to help manage symptoms. Medications such as galantamine, rivastigmine, and donepezil are examples of cholinesterase inhibitors that are commonly prescribed for Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, working with a therapist or social worker can also often help patients with the disease address common behavioural and lifestyle concerns, such as anxiety, depression, irritability, sleep problems, social support, and housing changes.

When to seek treatment for Alzheimer’s?
It’s best to seek treatment at the first signs of Alzheimer's. Early warning signs of Alzheimer’s include memory problems, such as forgetting appointments or directions, as well as trouble concentrating, paying attention, retrieving words, and carrying out daily household tasks. An early diagnosis can help people slow the progression of the disease with medication and plan for the future in terms of housing, social/caregiving support, and finances.
