“Physical and mental health are closely linked; however, your mental health is more vulnerable when physical health is affected by illness or injury”
Supporting someone with an amputation is not as straightforward as supporting a generalised person with depression & anxieties. Many therapists do not have the experience; they may have never met an amputee and understand how you feel.
The therapist who supports you will understand how losing a body part creates change within your life. The emotional effects of limb loss are significant, whether the amputation is due to a severe illness or a sudden traumatic injury. Physical and mental recovery can be complicated and take a long time.
Loss of limb counselling is not restricted to a single method of therapy. Each person can bring different presenting issues; one solution does not fit all. As a specialist service, we can support you no matter the problems.
Our therapy can help you set goals to work towards, particularly during rehabilitation. We know that goals & aspirations should be meaningful to your life and attainable and realistic. Our therapists will help develop such plans by setting achievable targets at each counselling stage. Goals often provide a sense of purpose and structure (daily routine) and improve confidence and self-esteem.
