WHY USE ME

I’m here to listen and support you as you explore options and make choices that feel right for you.

WHAT TO EXPECT 

As a carer, I know how easy it is to put your own needs last while focusing on others. Counselling can offer a space to focus on yourself—your well-being, your emotions, and the challenges you face. It’s about taking the time to process how your role affects you and finding ways to manage the stresses and responsibilities that come with caregiving.
Through counselling, you can explore strategies that work for you and even draw on shared experiences to navigate similar challenges. It’s a chance to prioritise your own well-being so you can feel more balanced and supported in everything you do

SUPPORT FOR CARERS      

I never thought I'd be in the position to need to speak to a counsellor and was very nervous about what it would be like, Alison made it as easy as possible and helped me to navigate the challenges I was dealing with. As a result, I now have the tools and the self-belief I need to be able to face whatever comes my way. I cannot thank Alison enough and would recommend her to anyone who feels like they are struggling and might be hesitating to get some extra help.
