Counselling Support

A Safe Space to Talk—At Any Point in the Dementia Journey

If you’re feeling worried, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next, you’re not alone.
Counselling Support is for individuals and families who need space to talk things through—with someone who understands dementia, memory loss, and the emotional weight that comes with it.
This is not about being told what to do.
It’s about being heard and supported while you find clarity.

When Counselling Support Can Help Most

Counselling support may be helpful if you are:
  • Worried about memory changes (your own or a loved one’s)
  • Unsure whether to seek a memory assessment
  • Waiting for results from a memory clinic
  • Coping with a new dementia diagnosis
  • Feeling anxious, guilty, angry, or stuck
  • Struggling with family conversations or decisions
  • Finding it hard to adjust to change
If you’re thinking, “I don’t know what I’m feeling—I just know this is hard,” counselling can help.

Counselling Support for Memory Concerns & Dementia Assessments

We can support you to:

Many people seek counselling alongside memory clinics and dementia assessments.
  • Talk through concerns about memory loss calmly
  • Understand what happens during memory assessments
  • Prepare emotionally for appointments and results
  • Process diagnoses—whether expected or unexpected
  • Navigate uncertainty while waiting for clarity
  • Decide next steps with less fear and overwhelm
Counselling does not replace medical care, but it provides emotional and psychological support before, during, and after assessment.

What Happens in a Counselling Support Session?

Counselling sessions are:
  • Confidential and non-judgmental
  • Led by professionals experienced in dementia care
  • Tailored to your unique situation

Sessions may help you:

  • Name and process difficult emotions
  • Gain clarity around decisions
  • Reduce anxiety and emotional overload
  • Improve communication within families
  • Feel steadier during uncertainty
There is no expectation to “be strong” or have answers.

Who Is Counselling Support For?

  • People concerned about their own memory
  • Family members and caregivers
  • Couples and families navigating dementia together
  • Anyone needing emotional support around dementia
You do not need a diagnosis to access counselling support.
