Counselling for Carers & Caregivers

Lady with a red jacket, she is in a wheelchair looking forwards with a warm smile. She has her laptop, she is about to start a disability counselling session.

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems.

Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow.

You might be initially hesitant to seek out help and support for personal matters, but when you do, you will feel confident that you are taking a courageous first step towards getting to a better place and being a better you.

Counselling for carers with DisabilityPlus enables caregivers the opportunity to take some time for themselves. It’s a chance to reevaluate and vent with a counsellor who understands exactly what they are going through.

There is no judgement or worries about confidentiality, we understand and will support you.

One of the most important aspects of counselling & psychotherapy is the relationship you form with your therapist.

Counselling for Carers Support?

Our Counselling & Psychotherapies start from the baseline & contributing factors of living as a carer creating the issues you may be feeling.

Carers can face a variety of struggles in their role of providing care and support to another person.

Here are some of the common struggles that we support within our sessions:

Emotional stress: Carers may experience emotional stress due to the responsibility of caring for someone else, as well as the emotional toll of witnessing their loved one’s illness or disability.

Physical strain: Providing care can be physically demanding, especially if the person being cared for has mobility issues or requires assistance with personal care tasks.

Financial strain: Caring for someone else can be expensive, and carers may need to cover the costs of medical care, equipment, and other expenses related to their loved one’s care.

Social isolation: Caring for someone else can be a full-time job, leaving little time for socialising and maintaining relationships with friends and family.

Burnout: Carers may experience burnout if they are unable to take breaks and recharge, leading to exhaustion, frustration, and a lack of motivation to continue providing care.

Guilt and self-doubt: Carers may feel guilty for taking time for themselves or for not being able to provide the level of care they feel their loved one needs.

Lack of support: Carers may feel unsupported by healthcare providers, social services, and other resources, making it difficult to provide the best possible care for their loved ones.

Conditions?

Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. We promote behavioural transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions. 

How can you access counselling?

Online Sessions – we offer video sessions, why? there are few counsellors that support carers in the UK. By offering video sessions we can support you wherever you live.

What to expect? – your counsellor will understand the issues you may be facing, each person is different, however, in counselling for carers common themes are talked through.

Therapy – normally we would offer counselling that supports resolutions of your current issues and future planning. Some people prefer a longer deeper form of psychotherapy. We support both modes of counselling.

When can I start counselling? – if you are paying for sessions yourself sessions would start generally within a fortnight. 

Availability – Counselling for carers is available to anyone who supports a person with a disability.

We pride ourselves on providing safe and compassionate counselling for carers where all individuals, regardless of cultural, gender or sexual identity can receive equitable mental health services and support.

So, if you’re struggling in any way right now, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Conditions?

Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition that affects movement, posture, and muscle coordination. While it primarily affects physical functioning, it can also have an impact on mental health. Some of the typical mental health conditions that people with cerebral palsy may experience include:

Anxiety disorders: People with cerebral palsy may experience anxiety related to their physical limitations, social situations, and the challenges of daily life.

Depression: Living with cerebral palsy can be challenging and may lead to feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): ADHD is a common co-occurring condition with cerebral palsy, which can make it difficult to concentrate, complete tasks, and stay organised.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): Some people with cerebral palsy may develop OCD, which involves obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours that are difficult to control.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): People with cerebral palsy may experience traumatic events related to their condition or medical treatments, leading to PTSD.

Sleep disorders: Sleep disturbances are common in people with cerebral palsy and may contribute to other mental health conditions.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD): Some people with cerebral palsy may also have ASD, which is characterised by social communication difficulties and repetitive behaviours.

It’s important to note that not everyone with cerebral palsy will experience mental health conditions, and those who do may experience different combinations of symptoms.

Self-paying?

Private paying clients are able to choose the focus, duration, and frequency of therapy.

Clients are even allowed to choose the length of sessions. Research shows that clients who have to pay something for their treatment have more positive outcomes than those who receive free treatment.
