Understanding Geriatric Counselling
Geriatric counselling is a specialised form of therapy designed to support the emotional and psychological wellbeing of older adults. Later life brings its own set of joys and challenges—from retirement and shifting identities to health changes, loss, and questions of meaning and legacy.
Our sessions provide a warm, unhurried space where older adults can speak freely about what they're experiencing. Every concern is taken seriously, and therapy is always adapted to suit your pace, preferences, and life story.
Working with a therapist who understands the realities of ageing means having a dedicated, unbiased listener who can help you find clarity, connection, and renewed purpose—whatever stage of life you're in.

Anxiety About Health
Experiencing worry or fear related to chronic illness, declining physical ability, or medical diagnoses
Depression & Low Mood

Identity & Role Changes
