Specialist Psychological Support
BSL & English Speaking Carer Counselling
for adults who are struggling with their mental & emotional health as a consequence of being a carer for a deaf person
Counselling for Carers of a D/deaf person is an essential service we offer.
The physical and emotional demands of caring for someone with a disability, or recovering from an accident or disease, with care needs can be high. As a carer, looking after your own emotional needs is essential so you can keep doing your care role, stay healthy, and enjoy life as much as possible.
Caring can be rewarding, but it can also be stressful and demanding. Many carers experience complicated feelings related to their role as a carer. Emotions like anger, frustration, guilt, exhaustion and annoyance are normal.
Spending most of your spare time looking after someone else makes it easy to become isolated or lonely.
