Carers and family members of people with a chronic disease

Picture

When a family member or a loved one is diagnosed with a chronic disease, the ramifications for carers are significant and often complex.

If you care for someone with a chronic disease, you may experience stress, grief and social isoloation.  You may feel overwhelmed by the tasks involved in meeting your loved one's needs.

Specialised counselling for carers and family members
  • Respectful, warm and intelligent counselling support for individual carers, couples and families
  • Understanding regarding the unique needs of carers
  • Knowledge of and experience with chronic disease, mental illness and disability
  • Competent and sensitive support that bridges gaps for individuals from a wide variety of marginalised backgrounds.
  • Demonstrated experience with depression, anxiety, trauma histories and grief and loss
Enlisting specialised support for you as a carer can improve the wellbeing of your entire family.  I understand the intense sadness and lost that your family may experience and can assist you to develop personal resources and coping strategies that will help you to manage the unique demands you face day to day and in the future.

Free counselling is available

As an external provider for Carers Victoria's National Carer Counselling Program (NCCP) you may be entitled to receive a number of sessions free of charge - see counselling for carers.
