Caring for someone who is ill is an act of love that can quietly empty you out. Whether it is dementia, cancer, Parkinson’s, MS, a brain injury, a stroke or spinal cord injury and the paralysis that can follow, a chronic condition, a mental illness, or the slow decline of an aging parent: if you are exhausted, grieving someone who is still here, and feeling guilty for even needing a break, this hour is for you.
Mourning the person as they were, while they are still with you. We make real space for that loss.
Exhaustion, frustration, and moments of resentment are normal. We work on ways to keep caring that also leave room for you.
Care decisions can strain marriages and sibling relationships. We help you navigate the guilt, the boundaries, and the hard conversations.
Appointments, falls, medications, the role reversal nobody prepared you for. We work on the guilt, the limits, and how to keep being their child as well as their carer.
Treatment cycles, rehab appointments, a home that has to change, and not knowing what is next. We work on the fear, the pacing, and the parts of your own life that have gone quiet.
Crisis calls, hospital stays, the worry that never fully lifts, and the strain of always being the steady one. We help you keep looking after yourself too.

See available timesA diagnosis brings more than appointments. It brings grief for the future you pictured, fear of what is ahead, and big questions about who you are. Especially in the earlier stages, therapy offers a steady place to face those feelings, and to keep living fully in the meantime.
Space to be angry, scared, and sad about it, with someone who will not rush you toward silver linings.
You are still you. We work on holding onto the roles, relationships, and joys that matter most, for as long as possible.
Worry and depression often travel with a diagnosis. Gentle, practical support can ease the weight of both.
We support the emotional side of illness and dementia, alongside your medical and community care team and never in place of them. That can mean making room for grief, including the losses others cannot see; easing the guilt and self-criticism that often come with caring; and practical ways to handle stress, sleep, difficult moments and asking for help.
