Live Life Well Counselling

On this Dementia Action Week (16-22 September)it is important to understand that Normal ageing is a natural and gradual process characterised by predictable, age-related changes in the body and mind. It includes mild memory lapses, reduced physical agility, and slower processing speed.

In contrast, Dementia represents pathological conditions that disrupt normal bodily functions. It can happen to people of all ages. Conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson are not “normal” aspects of aging. They result from underlying neurological disorders.

Diseases often exhibit more severe and debilitating symptoms, including profound cognitive impairment, motor dysfunction, and significant quality-of-life declines.

Distinguishing between normal aging and disease is crucial for early diagnosis and intervention to manage and treat the specific conditions that cause health issues as we age.

Safety in a relationship is more than physical. Healthy relationships include being emotionally and psychologically safe.

Signs of a healthy relationship
• Equality, where both people in the relationship feel like they can talk about their experiences or speak their minds without feeling worried, scared or criticised. Fairness about how decisions get made and compromises are even.
• Mutual respect- You don’t have to agree on everything, but you understand and respect each other’s values, opinions and boundaries.
• Trust in one another.
• Good communication, involving both talking and listening, and both be heard.
• Separate identities. You can each be yourself, while being together. Support for each other in pursuing individual interests.

Counselling provides individuals and couples with more effective communication strategies. Support through relationship breakdowns and more. Call or book online today -breakdown

It is a gift to feel safe enough to show up in life as our authentic selves and do more than just exist. Is it time for your change? Are you living your best life, as the best version of you?Counselling supports change, assists self esteem, heals grief & loss, address’s maladaptive behaviours, increases wellbeing and improves relationships.

When we are stressed, upset or anxious our breaths become shorter, our heart rate increases, we can’t think clearly, our emotions become unregulated and it reduces oxygen intake to the brain.

Practice a pause, feel your body’s reactions or sensations. Take a big deep breath and release slowly. Oxygenation of the brain relieves anxiety, increases circulation, and increases muscular relaxation. Self soothing activities help to regulate your nervous system. For more support book online today. Appointments available.
