Your Counselling
Our Counselling and psychotherapies start from the baseline & contributing factors of living with a loss of a limb or soon to have an amputation, 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, physical and relationships in general.
These are vital issues many disabled people face daily.
Losing a limb can be a life-changing event that can present numerous daily challenges. Some of the problems that people with limb loss may face include:
Mobility issues: Losing a limb can make moving around, walking, or performing daily activities challenging.
Phantom pain: Many people who have had an amputation experience phantom pain, a sensation that the missing limb is still present and painful.
Prosthetic issues: Using a prosthetic limb can be challenging, as it may take time to get used to and may cause discomfort or pain.
Self-image issues: Losing a limb can also impact a person’s self-image and confidence, which can be challenging to cope with.
Social stigma: Unfortunately, a social stigma may be associated with having a limb amputated, making it difficult to interact with others and participate in social activities.
As a specialist limb loss counselling service, we understand these issues & can support you through your journey.
