Thoughtful healing for carers
Are you struggling?
Could you really do with someone to talk to? Someone outside your circle of family and friends, someone to whom you can say exactly what is spinning around in your head with 100% confidentiality
Do you want to speak to someone who has been through what you are going through and more importantly, understands that every single situation is different?
And after having that listening ear, could you do with some help to manage your anxieties and help you re-energise and move forward in this most difficult of times?
If so, I am here for you.
My name is Angela, I am a qualified NLP Practitioner and have a Diploma in Counselling.
I cared for my wonderful mum for years through dementia, strokes and macular degeneration and then had to take the painful decision of moving her to a care home when it was no longer the right thing to keep her at home, for her or me.
I then wanted to find a way to be there for people in the same situation, to support them and give them ways to help manage their feelings and energies, so I trained as an NLP Practitioner.
I would like to offer one or two sessions at the Dementia Hub Coventry to give you an opportunity to talk, be listened to without judgement and give you a couple of coping strategies.
The charge for room hire for 1 hour is £5.30 which would be payable by you, and is of course supporting the Dementia Hub at the same time.
If you are interested, please call me on 07752 437649 and we can arrange a mutually convenient time and I will arrange room availability.

Music, and singing in particular, has been shown to boost brain activity and therefore plays an important part in slowing the progress of dementia. Music evokes emotions that bring memories, emotional and physical closeness. Singing is engaging and can shift mood, manage stress and stimulate positive interactions.
When: Alternate Fridays from 11am to midday.

More information will be shared as it becomes available. For now, I have added a link to the reading agency.
We support Primary school children to enjoy reading throughout the summer, and they are offered incentives to collect as they are challenged to read six books during the holidays. We work with schools to promote the scheme and then deliver during the school holidays and invite all completers to an award ceremony in September.
