Approach to Counselling & How I Work

A diagnosis of dementia causes distress and uncertainty to the person with dementia as well as their loved ones. It can feel as though there is little hope and whilst the medical side is being addressed a person's emotional and mental health can be forgotten when that is needed more than ever. Person-centred counselling can be a valuable tool for both people with dementia and their families. By fostering a safe space and bringing empathy and understanding I can assist the client to express their emotions, share life stories and find meaning in their present experiences. For families, counselling provides a safe space to talk and be heard, this can strengthen bonds and increase resilience. I pride myself in holding a safe space with each individual client, whether it is a home visit or within my comfortable counselling room

I am based near Heathfield and cover Hailsham, Polegate, Horam, Eastbourne, Uckfield and Mayfield
