Empathetic, age-appropriate therapy designed for older adults and their families. Because mental wellness matters at every stage of life.

Who is Geriatric Counselling for?

Geriatric counselling is for older adults (typically 60 years and above) who are facing emotional, psychological, or social challenges. It’s also for family members and caregivers who may be concerned about the mental health of their aging loved ones.

It is ideal for:

  • Seniors feeling lonely, anxious, or low
  • Elderly facing chronic illness, grief, or memory changes
  • Families seeking guidance on how to support aging parents
  • Individuals struggling with retirement, loss of identity, or reduced independence

My approach

At Safe Space with Harry, I take a compassionate and personalized approach to geriatric therapy. I believe that we don’t need a diagnosis to seek support, sometimes talking to a trained professional is enough to lighten the emotional load.

  • I honour the life experiences of every older adult.
  • Sessions may include family members when helpful.
  • I use gentle, simple conversations. No jargon, just connection.
  • Focus on improving quality of life, not just solving problems
  • My approach may include memory support, mindfulness, life review, and talk therapy techniques designed for aging minds

Whether you’re 65 or 85, it’s never too late to feel seen, heard, and supported. I blend Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), TA (Transactional Analysis), and mindfulness techniques to offer evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and emotionally safe sessions.

FAQs

Following are some frequently asked questions about how geriatric counselling works or whether it is necessary.

Is geriatric counselling only for people with memory problems or dementia?

Not at all. It’s for any senior experiencing emotional distress, life changes, or simply needing someone to talk to. Memory issues may be part of the picture but not the whole.

Can family members attend the sessions?

Yes. If the senior is comfortable, sessions may include spouses, children, or caregivers, especially if the goal is to improve communication or support.

What if my parent does not believe in therapy?

That’s common. I approach each conversation with gentleness and patience. Sometimes, just one non-judgemental conversation helps change the perception of therapy.

Do you offer online sessions for seniors?

Yes. Many older adults find online sessions convenient and comforting – especially from the comfort of their own home.

Is the therapy confidential?

Absolutely. Everything shared remains private unless there’s a safety concern. I am here to build trust, not break it.

Did you know?

1 in 5 adults over age 60 experiences a mental or neurological disorder such as depression or anxiety. However, nearly two-thirds don’t receive the treatment they need, often due to stigma or lack of access.
