Dementia Counselling

A dementia diagnosis can change how life feels, not only for the person receiving the diagnosis but also for partners, families and carers too. It can bring uncertainty, grief, changes in mood, shifts in relationships and fears about the future.
Dementia counselling creates space to make sense of these experiences, gently normalising how you feel and helping you find a way forward.
Dementia counselling is for everyone, the person living with dementia, carers and families.
