Questions?

How do we support you?

Online Sessions – we offer video sessions; why?

Few counsellors specialise in supporting people with hearing loss. We can help you wherever you live by providing video sessions.

What to expect? – your counsellor will understand the issues you may be facing; each person is different, but common themes are discussed in therapy.

Therapy – we usually offer counselling that supports resolutions of your current issues and future planning. Some people prefer a longer, more profound form of psychotherapy.

We support both modes of counselling.

When can I start counselling? – if you pay for sessions, sessions generally start within a fortnight.

If you wanted NHS funding, we would make an application following a free assessment session.

No NHS funding application is guaranteed to be successful, and the timeframe is normally between 8 and 12 weeks. 

We pride ourselves on providing safe and compassionate hearing loss counselling where all individuals, regardless of cultural, gender or sexual identity, can receive equitable mental health services and support.

How we help?

Our Counselling & Psychotherapies start from the baseline & contributing factors of living with hearing loss creating the issues you may be facing.

We know that most people we see do not have mental health conditions, they have emotional stressors & issues subjected to accessibility, discrimination, limited opportunities, neurological conditions & relationships in general.

These are key issues many disabled people face on a daily basis.

Depression: Hearing loss can lead to feelings of isolation, social withdrawal, and reduced quality of life, all of which can contribute to depression.

Anxiety: People with hearing loss may struggle to understand what is being said in social situations, which can lead to anxiety and feelings of self-consciousness.

Social isolation: Communication difficulties can make it hard for people with hearing loss to participate in social activities and connect with others, leading to social isolation.

Communication breakdown: Misunderstandings and communication breakdowns can lead to frustration, which can cause tension and conflict in relationships.

Cognitive decline: Some research has suggested that hearing loss may be associated with cognitive decline and an increased risk of dementia.

Fatigue: Struggling to hear can be mentally exhausting, particularly if the person has to concentrate more to follow conversations or if they use assistive devices for prolonged periods.

We take pride in tailoring individual support for adults with hearing loss. We ensure their needs are met by delivering a flexible, personalised service.

Our Counsellors & Psychotherapists are driven to support their own community; this is not a job for them; it’s their passion. All our counsellors are registered & qualified to deliver exceptional therapies.

The impact of hearing loss on all different levels for all different people is complex. We understand all these issues and many more because our counsellors have hearing loss.

So, if you’re struggling in any way right now, please do get in touch with us. Talking to someone outside your family or circle of friends may help you better understand your feelings and manage them more effectively.

Support?

Living with hearing loss can have a significant impact on mental health. Here are some ways in which hearing loss can affect mental health.

In our counselling we often find that people with hearing loss have issues with:

Isolation and loneliness: Hearing loss can make it difficult to communicate with others, which can lead to social isolation and loneliness. Strategies to address isolation include joining social groups or clubs, participating in online communities, and seeking out opportunities to connect with others.

Depression and anxiety: The experience of hearing loss can be overwhelming and stressful, which can lead to depression and anxiety. Strategies to address depression and anxiety include seeking out professional counselling, engaging in mindfulness or relaxation techniques, and focusing on self-care.

Frustration and anger: Communication difficulties can lead to frustration and anger, particularly in social situations. Strategies to address frustration and anger include practising active listening, advocating for oneself, and finding alternative communication methods, such as writing or text messaging.

Low self-esteem: Hearing loss can be stigmatised and may lead to feelings of low self-esteem. Strategies to address low self-esteem include focusing on strengths and accomplishments, seeking out positive affirmations, and engaging in self-compassion exercises.

It’s important to note that not everyone with hearing loss will experience mental health conditions, and those who do may experience different combinations of symptoms.
