Stress Management for Carers
Are you caring for someone with dementia?
Do you sometimes feel tired or overwhelmed?
Caring for someone living with dementia can be one of the most rewarding things you do in life and AT THE SAME TIME be one of the most challenging. To continue to be able to care for your loved one, safely and for as long as possible, you also need to care for yourself.

Our Experience
We each bring together 30 years of experience working therapeutically in health and social care, including working with seniors and people with dementia, and with a focus on stress management and self-care. We have a warm and personal approach and a gentle humour.
“Caring for a loved one with dementia is one of the most challenging roles we can take on in life: there will inevitably be times of exhaustion, grief and despair. But there are also times of inspiration, courage, tenderness, love and even humour. We want to help unpaid carers take care of themselves in a way that will create more of the good times, take care of their own health, and ultimately, help them continue to care."
We also offer individual respite care. To find out more
