Alzheimer’s Counselling

If you are reading this page then there could be two reasons - either you have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or someone in your family. And, now you are wondering whether you should get Alzheimer’s counselling and if it will help.

So, let’s first understand that Alzheimer’s affects not only your physical body but also your mind and emotions. As a result, it will also affect your family members, friends and even caregivers. The first step is to recognise that it is a chronic illness that can happen to anybody, there is no treatment and there is no need to feel guilt, shame or embarrassment about it.

In this stage, it is very important that you know that you are not alone and together with the help of your family and a trained counsellor, you can cope with its effects in the most constructive way.

Therefore, it is very important to seek help and take quality Alzheimer’s counselling therapies right after your diagnoses. If you have a family member who has just been diagnosed with this disease, make sure you give your advice on taking counselling sessions. Now with the starting of OnlineCounselling4U, you can take online counselling sessions that will help you:

• Understand your behaviour.
• Make smart choices and change some behaviour.
• Get more active - do regular exercise.
• Be social, like meet your friends and loved ones often
• Accept that your disease might affect other members around you.

Our best counsellors will help you understand your disease and thereafter, you can easily manage your grief and other emotions.

Types of Alzheimer’s Counselling

• Individual Counselling - This is typically for Alzheimer’s patients that are suffering from depression, anxiety, or grief of the illness. If you cannot talk in front of others, it's the best way to go. You can take online counselling sessions from the comfort of your homes.
• Family Counselling - The fact is that Alzheimer’s diagnosis not only affects the patient but also his/her family members. So, it becomes important for the family to know how to positively cope with the current crisis.
• Group Therapy - If you are a social person, then you can take our group therapy sessions where everyone suffering from Alzheimer’s comes together and share their issues.
