Our Approach

Reaching out for mental health support can feel a little strange at first, which is why our approach is grounded in what feels familiar. Just like the age-old tradition of going next door for a cuppa, visiting Next Door Counselling is about feeling welcome, safe and at ease. We focus on three key areas to support you:

  • Specialised Support: We provide accredited, evidence-based counselling and dementia support, using a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs.

  • Collaborative Care: We provide referrals and liaise with your medical team, key support people and family to optimise your healthcare and support.

  • Client-Centred, Strength-Based Approach: We aim to ensure every person feels heard, supported and empowered.

Christmas outings can be a beautiful way to stay connected but for a person living with dementia, they can also bring extra noise, crowds and confusion. A little planning can make a world of difference.. for everyone.
