Seeking counselling is perfectly normal for older people and can help you with building positive ways to respond to life’s challenges. You can discuss personal things that you might not be able to discuss with family and friends. A counsellor can help support you in a confidential and non-judgemental way.
The counsellor explores with you the difficulties and issues you may be facing. Counselling helps you to see things more clearly and from a different perspective. The objective is to assist you to make positive changes in response to your issues.
An experienced counsellor can help you to:
understand your relationships with your adult children as they are now and how they have changed
work on relationships with others in your life such as carers
discover ways to respond to your life transitions
viewing your life experiences with a positive perspective
identify your feelings in a safe place
cope with difficult life circumstances
create positive family experiences
