Senior Counseling

You may, for example, benefit from therapy sessions if you experience:

• Grief and reactions after loss
  loneliness and the feeling of being alone
• Anxiety, inner restlessness, or persistent worries
• Depressive symptoms (mild, moderate, or severe)
• Stress reactions due to major life changes
  (e.g., relocation, family illness, new roles, retirement)
• Life regrets and difficult thoughts about life choices
• Family challenges or relationship issues
• Chronic illness or pain affecting daily life
  (e.g., COPD, heart disease, Parkinson’s, cancer treatment, etc.)
• Concerns about memory and early signs of cognitive changes
  burden as a relative – e.g., due to dementia or other serious illness

Many people find that later life stages call for a new way of being. This can involve identity, meaning, relationships, and the rhythm of daily life – especially when working life ends or health changes.

In counseling, we can work on:

• Creating more calm and energy
• Finding options for action in a new life situation
• Strengthening what provides meaning and direction
• Managing difficult emotions so they don’t take over

Being a relative can be difficult. Many try to be strong, keep everything together, and be considerate. But inside, there can be sadness, frustration, guilt, worry, or exhaustion.

Counseling can provide a space where there is also room for you – and where we can work together on:

• Boundaries and prioritization
• Stress and stress-related symptoms
• Responsibility and guilt
• Family communication

With us, you are the expert on your own life. We collaborate to understand what is happening and what can help you move forward.

We work based on various theories and approaches, therefore using the most relevant ones specifically for you. We aim to establish a clear framework and agenda to make the conversation as helpful as possible.

We always conclude with brief feedback so we can continuously adjust and ensure that the process is meaningful.

All inquiries are treated confidentially.

Are you unsure whether counseling is right for you? We can start with an initial consultation where we clarify what you need – and if we are a good match.

For an additional transport fee, we offer home visits if that suits you better. This can be a good solution for reduced mobility, chronic illness, or pain – and in some cases, also for serious or terminal illness, where conversations can take place at home or by the bedside.
