Quality Mental Health Counselling Services
Our counselling and psychotherapy sessions address the root causes and contributing factors of living with limb loss or facing imminent amputation, tackling the challenges that may arise.
We understand that the majority of our clients do not suffer from mental health disorders; instead, they are dealing with emotional stresses and problems related to accessibility, discrimination, limited opportunities, and issues in physical well-being and relationships.
These are critical challenges that many individuals with disabilities encounter daily. Limb loss is a transformative event that can introduce a variety of everyday hurdles. Challenges faced by individuals with limb loss can include:
Mobility challenges: Limb loss can complicate mobility, making it difficult to move, walk, or carry out daily tasks. Phantom limb pain: It’s common for individuals who have undergone an amputation to experience phantom limb pain, where there is a feeling that the absent limb is still there and causing pain.
Prosthetic challenges: Adjusting to a prosthetic limb can be complex, often requiring time to adapt and potentially causing discomfort or pain.
Issues with self-perception: The experience of losing a limb can affect one’s self-esteem and confidence, presenting psychological challenges that need to be addressed.
Take The First Step:
Embark on a path towards emotional well-being and personal empowerment. Our specialised limb loss mental health counselling is designed to guide you towards positive outcomes. Reach out to us & schedule your consultation, and take the first step towards a brighter future.
