Vestibular Disorder Mental Health Counselling & Retraining Therapy
Take Control Back from your Vestibular Disorder
Welcome to our vestibular disorder counselling service. We understand the unique challenges that individuals facing vestibular disorders encounter. Our team of dedicated professionals is here to provide tailored support, ensuring you’re not alone on your journey towards improved mental well-being.
Our counsellors are experts; why? They also have a vestibular disorder and can support you with empathy and understanding.
Understanding Vestibular Disorders:
Vestibular disorders, such as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) and Ménière’s Disease as examples, can significantly impact adults’ lives.
BPPV involves sudden and intense bouts of dizziness triggered by specific head movements. Ménière’s Disease affects hearing and balance, leading to vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss. These disorders can disrupt daily routines, causing stress and anxiety.
Effects on Adults
BPPV can lead to disorientation, making routine tasks challenging. Ménière’s Disease’s symptoms can create a sense of isolation due to unpredictable vertigo attacks and the potential for hearing impairment.
Such experiences can take a toll on emotional well-being and quality of life.
Challenges
Living with vestibular disorders often results in various mental health challenges:
Anxiety: The unpredictability of vertigo attacks can lead to heightened anxiety and worry about triggering episodes in public or unfamiliar settings.
Depression: The disruption of daily life, isolation, and uncertainty can contribute to feelings of sadness and hopelessness.
Social Isolation: Vestibular disorders may limit social interactions, leading to feelings of loneliness and withdrawal from social activities.
Loss of Identity: The sudden onset of symptoms can challenge one’s sense of self and identity, causing emotional distress.
Coping Struggles: Difficulty in coping with symptoms and adjusting to a changed lifestyle can lead to increased stress.
Our solution is to offer Individualised Counseling with our experienced Psychotherapists who provide personalised sessions to address your specific emotional and psychological needs.

Advantages of Video Counselling:
As pioneers in offering specialised mental health counselling for vestibular disorders, we recognise the urgency of making expert guidance accessible to those in need.
We are proud to leverage this technology to extend our support and cater to individuals who may otherwise struggle to access the care they deserve.
With just three specialists in the entire UK, our video counselling service emerges as an invaluable tool in ensuring that you receive timely, effective, and tailored support on your journey towards well-being.
Geographical Accessibility: Video counselling transcends geographical boundaries. Individuals who reside far from the limited specialist locations can now access expert guidance and support without the need for extensive travel.
Convenience: Clients can engage in counselling sessions from the comfort of their own homes or preferred environments. This level of convenience reduces the stress and discomfort associated with travel, especially for those who experience vestibular symptoms.
Flexible Scheduling: Our video counselling platform allows for flexible scheduling, accommodating clients’ busy lives and potential challenges related to their conditions. This ensures that even those with fluctuating symptoms can receive consistent support.
Consistent Support: With video counselling, clients can maintain a consistent relationship with our specialised service, regardless of their physical location. This continuity of care is crucial for effectively managing vestibular disorders.
Personalised Attention: Through video sessions, our specialists can provide focused, individualized attention to each client’s unique needs. This level of personalisation enhances the efficacy of our counselling services.
Reduced Wait Times: By utilizing video counselling, clients can access our specialised service more promptly, bypassing the long waiting lists that often accompany in-person consultations.

Testimonials
These testimonials and success stories illustrate the transformative impact of specialist vestibular counselling & vestibular retraining therapy. The reviews emphasise the potential for positive change and growth in the lives of individuals with chronic pain because of vestibular disorders.
“My therapist’s dual expertise helped alleviate my physical symptoms and gave me essential tools to manage the psychological aspects of living with a vestibular disorder. She tailored exercises to my needs, pushing me enough to improve without overwhelming me.”
“Living with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) was an overwhelming challenge that not only affected my physical well-being but also took a toll on my mental health.
The sudden vertigo attacks and constant fear of triggering them left me anxious and hesitant to engage in daily activities. That’s when I found Verity, a vestibular counsellor who addressed both my physical and emotional needs.”
“My counsellor’s firsthand experience with a vestibular disorder made her approach uniquely relatable. She knew the isolating feelings, the struggles with balance and dizziness, and the mental toll it took. This empathy created an immediate bond, and I felt understood in a way that traditional therapists might not fully grasp.”
“Verity’s unique combination of mental health counselling and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) proved to be a lifesaver.
In our sessions, she patiently listened to my concerns, fears, and frustrations; her empathetic approach made me feel understood and supported, which played a significant role in improving my overall mental well-being.”

Supporting Organisations
Using vestibular disorder-supporting organisations can provide numerous benefits for individuals affected by tinnitus. Here are some advantages of seeking support from tinnitus organisations:
Education and Information: Tinnitus organisations offer valuable resources and information about the condition, including its causes, management strategies, and treatment options. Being well-informed about VD can empower individuals to understand their situation better and make informed decisions about their care.
Peer Support: Connecting with others who experience the condition can be incredibly helpful. Vestibular disorder organisations often host support groups or online forums where individuals can share their experiences, exchange coping strategies, and provide emotional support to one another.
Coping Techniques: Vestibular disorder organisations may offer workshops, webinars, and other coping strategies that can improve an individual’s ability to handle the challenges associated with vestibular disorders.
