Alzheimers Therapists in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia

I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session. Due to my background in nursing (including dementia care) and mental health, I have a good understanding of various Alzheimers diagnoses and how they impact the person and the potential impacts for those around them required to support them. This makes it easier for you to not feel you need to provide detailed explanation the diagnosis, rather focusing on what you actually wish to discuss to use your session time in a way that fits best for you. If I have any question about the diagnosis etc, I will only ask specifically regarding that missing piece of information to assist my understanding so I can support you best. My aim is to assist you with your changing life difficulties to restore balance, happiness and inner peace with various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods. Where ever you are in your Alzheimers journey, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

Using neurofeedback and brain training

Hobart is Tasmania's compact capital and the smallest of Australia's state capital cities, with a mental health landscape shaped by the challenges of geographic isolation, an ageing population, and a slower-paced economy relative to mainland Australia. The city has a vibrant creative and arts community, and arts-based therapeutic approaches have found a particularly receptive audience here, while the surrounding regions of rural Tasmania face more significant access challenges for which telehealth has become essential. Mental health services in Hobart are available through Tasmania's public system and a private sector that, while growing, is smaller than in larger Australian cities; wait times for publicly funded care can be considerable. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, seasonal mood changes, and the life transition challenges experienced by those who relocate to or from Tasmania.
