Psychotherapy for Older Adults

Picture
The transition into later life can stir up many emotions for older adults.  Life changing events such as retirement from work, bereavement, illnesses associated with getting older, long term caring for a loved one with an age related illness, or an awareness that life is moving on and regrets associated with that realisation can all exert pressure on an older adult’s emotional and psychological well-being and can result in depression, anxiety, a sense of hopelessness or feeling lost and alone. 

Speaking with a non-judgemental, qualified professional, putting words on unwelcome thoughts and feelings and understanding where they come from can bring about a sense of relief and can trigger positive change resulting in a greater sense of wellbeing.  

Psychotherapy for older adults can be useful in treating the following:

·         Adapting to retirement
·         Bereavement/Loss
·         Illnesses associated with getting older
·         Long term caring for a loved one
·         Isolation and loneliness
