Therapy and Counselling for Carers
Specialist Support Services
Caring for others is rewarding—but it’s also demanding, exhausting, and often overwhelming. Many carers face challenges like constant stress, feeling unseen, struggling to set boundaries, and losing sight of their own wellbeing. That’s where my services come in.
I offer tailored support designed to help you:
-
Manage carer stress and prevent burnout
-
Navigate family conflicts and communication breakdowns
-
Process grief, loss, and shifting roles
-
Reclaim your sense of purpose and identity beyond caregiving
-
Build practical strategies to balance work, care, and self-care
-
Find clearer boundaries and regain control over your time and energy
Whatever stage you’re at in your caregiving journey, my approach focuses on real, lasting support that fits your life and helps you thrive—because therapy isn’t just about understanding yourself, it’s about making meaningful changes that fit your life as a carer.
One-to-One Online Therapy for Carers
I offer one-to-one online therapy designed around the realities of caring — flexible, accessible, and supportive.
These sessions create space for you to:
-
Find steadiness and emotional support when stress or burnout begin to take over
-
Reconnect with who you are beyond your caring role
-
Process grief, life changes and carer overwhelm in a way that feels supportive and personal
Therapy is a place to feel heard — especially when you’ve spent so long holding things together for others.
A Flexible, Integrative Therapy Approach for Carers
There’s no one-size-fits-all therapy — especially for carers carrying complex relationships, responsibilities, and emotional strain.
I use an Integrative Psychotherapy approach, tailored to each individual, drawing from a range of therapeutic perspectives to support carers with stress, grief, burnout and relational challenges.
Together, we can:
-
Explore how past relationships and patterns may still be shaping how you respond to others today
-
Create space where you feel seen, heard, and not judged — especially when you're used to being the one holding it all together
-
Build practical tools to manage emotions, quiet anxious thoughts, and take gentle steps toward change and confidence
Common Challenges Carers Bring to Therapy
Carers often come to therapy carrying more than one weight at once — stress, exhaustion, shifting relationships, and the emotional toll of always being the one others rely on.
I offer a balance of reflection and practical support for the challenges caregivers face — because therapy isn’t just about understanding yourself, it’s also about finding ways forward that feel doable and real, even when life is full.
What to Expect in a Therapy Session for Carers
Each 50-minute session is structured but flexible — focused on what matters most to you as a carer. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or simply need space to breathe, therapy gives you the support to reflect, reset, and move forward.
Here's what a typical one-to-one session might look like:
-
Check-in – How have things been? What's on your mind today?
-
Explore – We gently unpack emotions, patterns, and carer-related challenges
-
Tools & insights – You’ll leave with practical strategies that feel do-able and supportive
-
Reflect – We consider what’s shifted and where to go from here
Your first session is all about getting to know each other and making sure it feels like a good fit. You don’t need to have it all figured out — we’ll shape a way forward together, based on what you need right now.
If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s talk. Therapy can support you through burnout, stress, or whatever caring is asking of you today.
Well-being Workshops for Carers: Support for Stress, Burnout and Guilt
These aren’t therapy groups — they’re practical, 60-minute wellbeing workshops for carers. Whether you're supporting a loved one at home or working in a professional care role, each session offers grounded strategies to support your day-to-day emotional wellbeing.
Topics include:
Managing stress and preventing carer burnout
Setting healthy boundaries with confidence
Maintaining emotional wellbeing under pressure
Working with carer guilt in compassionate ways
Each workshop includes reflective prompts, simple grounding tools, and space for real conversation. Sessions are delivered live online or in person.
You'll also meet others who get it — carers facing similar challenges. These small groups are structured, supportive, and focused on what actually helps when you're living the demands of caregiving.

Family Mediation for Carers: Support with Conflict, Communication and Change
When caregiving begins to strain family relationships, mediation can help everyone feel heard. These online sessions offer a neutral, guided space to have honest conversations — especially when things feel stuck or emotionally charged.
Common issues we explore include:
Miscommunication or misunderstandings
Shifting roles and caregiving responsibilities
Emotional stress and tension within the family
Rebuilding trust and finding practical, fair solutions
Mediation creates a structured space for families to talk, listen, and move forward with less conflict and more clarity. It’s particularly helpful when you’re repeating the same arguments, feeling unheard, or overwhelmed by unspoken tension.
If your family is finding it difficult to communicate or make shared decisions around care, mediation can help you move forward with greater understanding and ease.
