Carer support
Someone should be asking how you are
When one person in a family is ill, everyone else quietly reorganises their life around it. This is counselling for the person doing the reorganising — not as an add-on to someone else’s care, but in your own right.

Some of this may sound familiar
- You are tired of explaining the same thing to every new person you see.
- You cancel plans often enough that you have stopped making them.
- People keep telling you how well you look.
- You grieve the version of yourself you had planned to be.
- Appointments and admin have quietly become a second job.
- You feel guilty for being a burden, and then angry for feeling guilty.
- You are managing, and you are exhausted by managing.
None of this has to reach crisis point to be worth talking about. Most people who come to us are coping, and would rather not be coping alone.
