Parkinson’s Disease Counselling & Psychotherapy

Parkinson’s Disease Counselling deepens the understanding of yourselves and relationships. Our belief is that by increasing self-knowledge, we make better choices that lead to a happier life.
Perhaps you’re down or anxious – maybe you’re unsure about what your future will look like, or just feel that you aren’t living the life you were meant to lead.
Whatever your needs may be, we are here to offer support.
Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. We promote behavioural transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions.
We value compassion, and we believe that the most important elements of effective psychotherapy are respecting your privacy and values and providing a safe environment for the work to unfold.
If you are struggling please get in touch.



Counselling?
Our Counselling & Psychotherapies start from the baseline & contributing factors of living with parkinson’s disease 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 fear, worry, invisible discrimination, limited opportunities, physical, neurological conditions & relationships in general.
These are key issues many people with parkinson’s disease face on a daily basis.
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.
Online Sessions – we offer video sessions, why? there are few counsellors that support people with parkinson’s disease in the UK. By offering video sessions we can support you wherever you live.
What to expect? – your counsellor will understand the issues you may be facing, each person is different, however, in parkinson’s disease counselling common themes are talked through.
Therapy – normally we would offer counselling that supports resolutions of your current issues and future planning. Some people prefer a longer deeper form of psychotherapy. We support both modes of counselling.
When can I start counselling? – if you are paying for sessions yourself sessions would start generally 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.
Availability – Parkinson’s disease counselling is available to anyone with stages one to three.
We pride ourselves on providing safe and compassionate parkinson’s disease counselling where all individuals, regardless of cultural, gender or sexual identity can receive equitable mental health services and support.

Counselling Benefits?
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, neurological conditions & relationships in general.
These are key issues many disabled people face daily.
Living with Parkinson’s can have a significant emotional impact on individuals, as well as their families and caregivers. Here are some benefits of your counselling
Emotional support: PD can be a difficult and challenging condition to live with, and counselling can provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to process their emotions and feelings related to their diagnosis.
Coping strategies: Our counsellors are trained to help individuals develop coping strategies for managing their physical and emotional symptoms.
Problem-solving: The therapists can help individuals identify and address specific challenges related to their PD and work with them to find solutions.
Improved quality of life: By addressing the emotional and practical challenges of PD, counselling can help improve an individual’s overall quality of life and well-being.
Better communication: Counselling can help individuals improve their communication skills and relationships with friends, family, and healthcare providers.
Increased resilience: By helping individuals develop a positive outlook and coping strategies, counselling can increase resilience and help individuals better manage the ups and downs of living with PD.
Mental Health?
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects motor functions. However, it can also have an impact on mental health. Here are some key points regarding mental health and Parkinson’s disease:
Depression and Anxiety: People with Parkinson’s disease are more prone to experiencing depression and anxiety. The reasons behind these mental health conditions can be attributed to the neurological changes caused by Parkinson’s, the challenges associated with living with a chronic illness, or a combination of factors.
Cognitive Changes: Parkinson’s disease can lead to cognitive changes, including difficulties with memory, attention, and executive function. Some individuals may develop mild cognitive impairment or dementia. These cognitive changes can contribute to feelings of frustration, confusion, and emotional distress.
Psychosis: In some cases, people with Parkinson’s disease may experience psychosis, which involves hallucinations and delusions. Psychosis can significantly impact a person’s mental well-being and quality of life.
Medication Side Effects: Certain medications used to manage Parkinson’s symptoms can have side effects that affect mental health. For example, dopamine agonists, a common class of medication for Parkinson’s, can cause impulse control disorders, including compulsive gambling, hypersexuality, or compulsive shopping.
Impact of Mental Health on Motor Symptoms: It’s important to note that mental health can influence motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease. Stress, anxiety, and depression can exacerbate motor symptoms such as tremors, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and rigidity.
Multidisciplinary Approach: Managing mental health in Parkinson’s disease requires a multidisciplinary approach. This typically involves a combination of medication, counselling or therapy (such as cognitive-behavioural therapy).
Support Networks: Building a strong support network, including friends, family, support groups, and patient organizations, can be beneficial for individuals with Parkinson’s disease. These networks provide emotional support, opportunities for social interaction, and a sense of belonging.
It’s important for individuals with Parkinson’s disease to discuss their mental health concerns with their healthcare team, as appropriate interventions and support can greatly improve overall well-being.
