Puradesa Therapy
Therapy 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.

Carer Stress & Burnout

Balancing care with your own needs can feel impossible. Therapy helps you regain balance, understand burnout, and build resilience without guilt.

Loss of Purpose & Meaning

Caring can reshape your sense of identity. Therapy helps you reconnect with yourself, explore your future, and find meaning beyond your role.

Grief & Bereavement

Loss, whether sudden or gradual, can leave you feeling emotionally stuck. Therapy offers space to process grief at your own pace and begin to find steadier ground again.

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
Practical Support for Stress, Burnout and Guilt

These are structured 60-minute wellbeing workshops designed specifically for carers. They are not therapy groups, but practical sessions focused on helping carers manage the emotional pressures that often come with supporting others.

Whether you are caring for a loved one at home or working in a professional caring role, each workshop offers grounded strategies that can be used in everyday life.

Drawing on my background as a BACP registered therapist, accredited mediator and experienced workplace facilitator, these sessions combine psychological insight with practical tools that carers can apply straight away.

Topics often include:

• recognising and managing carer stress before burnout develops
• setting clearer boundaries while continuing to care
• maintaining emotional wellbeing under ongoing pressure
• working with feelings of guilt in more compassionate ways

What happens during a workshop:

Each workshop includes short teaching segments, reflective prompts, and simple grounding techniques that help carers step back and think about what they need.

Sessions are designed to feel structured, supportive and practical, with space for conversation and shared reflection where helpful.

Workshops can be delivered online or in person.

Who these workshops are for:

These sessions are suitable for:

• organisations that want to support employees who have caring responsibilities
• groups of carers supporting family members
• professional carers working in demanding roles

Many organisations now recognise that carers within their workforce face unique pressures, and these workshops provide practical support that acknowledges those realities.
