Operating Days & Times
Caring can be a rewarding and at times a challenging role. Carers manage many different thoughts and feelings. Dealing with these is not always easy. Talking it over with others can help.Sharing experiences and hearing from others in a caring role can create opportunities for new ideas and connections. It can help to validate individual experiences, reduce isolation and enhance peer support.
Group counselling also provides an opportunity to gain deeper insight into personal experiences. It can help improve carer health and wellbeing.
Talking to a counsellor doesn't mean failure, not coping or feeling inadequate. It's about looking after yourself.
