Professional Support
As a qualified counsellor in Plymouth, I understand the unique challenges faced by carers, both paid and informal. My role is to provide empathetic and professional support during what can be a very demanding time. I aim to create a safe space where you can express your feelings and concerns without judgement. My integrative and person-centred approach to carer support counselling ensures that you are at the heart of the counselling process, helping you to navigate the complexities of caring for someone else.
Providing Support for Carers
Caring for a loved one, whether they are a family member or a client, can be emotionally and physically taxing. I have been in your shoes, facing the pressures and demands of caregiving. Through my counselling services, I aim to support you in coping with these challenges while recognising your individual needs and circumstances.
I offer a space for you to explore your feelings, whether it's the guilt of taking time for yourself or the stress of managing daily responsibilities. Together, we can work on developing strategies that promote self-care and resilience. I understand the importance of acknowledging the emotional weight that comes with being a carer, and I'm here to help you find ways to cope effectively.
Relationship Transitions
Transitioning from being a partner to a carer can create a whirlwind of emotions. You may wonder if it's possible to balance these roles, or you might be grieving the loss of your previous relationship dynamic. This change can bring about fears regarding independence and the future.
In our carer support counselling sessions, we can explore these feelings together. I will help you to articulate how this shift impacts your identity and relationships. You don't have to struggle alone; my experience as a carer informs my practice, allowing me to provide understanding and guidance tailored to your situation.
