You give so much. Who's looking after you?

​

Being a carer changes everything — your time, your identity, your relationships, your sense of self. Whether you're caring for a partner, a parent, or a child, you've probably learned to put your own needs last. Many carers I work with tell me they didn't even think of themselves as needing support, because "someone else has it worse."

That's exactly why this space exists.

​

Why carers need something different

​

Generic counselling doesn't always fit. Carers carry a specific mix of exhaustion, guilt, grief, and love that's hard to explain to someone who hasn't lived it. You might be dealing with:

Burnout that never quite lifts, even after rest

Guilt about resentment, frustration, or wanting time away

Loss — of the relationship you had, or the future you'd planned

Isolation, because caring can shrink your world down to one role

Anxiety about what happens next, and whether you're doing enough

None of that makes you a bad carer. It makes you human.

How I work with carers

​

I bring nearly two decades of NHS mental health experience, including crisis and community settings, alongside person-centred training that puts you — not just your caring role — at the centre of the room. Sessions are a space where you don't have to manage anyone else's needs. Just yours.

I also offer email counselling, which many carers find easier to fit around unpredictable caregiving schedules — no need to arrange cover or find a set hour each week.

A space that's just for you

If you've been carrying this alone, you don't have to keep doing that. Get in touch for a no-pressure conversation about what support could look like for you.
