Caring for a loved one is important work. Some days caring might bring you great pleasure. Other days, it might seem overwhelming and isolating. No matter how you feel, talking can help.
Individual counselling or therapeutic group sessions offer a safe, non-judgmental space to talk about the joys, challenges and stresses you experience in your caring role. Speaking with a qualified and experienced counsellor can help you to explore your thoughts and feelings, share concerns and work on resolving specific problems including self-care, self-esteem, assertion and more.
Counselling is a free service available in-person, online using a secure telehealth platform or over the phone.
