I wanted to speak about carers as it is Carers week in the UK (7-13 June). Caring for someone else is looking after needs of another person when they are unable to do it for themselves. This can take many forms perhaps you are looking after a parent or grandparent that suffers from dementia or ill health. Maybe your partner has cancer, or you could be a parent or carer of a child who has learning difficulties or mental health issues.

Caring can often hold difficult decisions which may lead to feelings of guilt as it may feel that you need to relinquish some responsibilities. Caring can be draining it often brings a sense of feeling overwhelmed. There can be difficulty in trying to balance your caring duties with the other aspects of your life, such as work, family and looking after your own needs.

Working with carers I have had the privilege of listening to stories and the struggles that people face. I hear that the support in systems that is offered is often not personalised enough for individuals, therefore, leaving the carer to fill the gap. It maybe that the cared for is being placed in situations which don’t really match their needs. I hear the frustration of the form filling and the waiting. I hear the anxiety faced in trying to keep someone they care for safe. I hear the sadness of the loss of the person that once was. I also hear the excitement of when a carer has had some free time and the difference it has made to have some time out for themselves. I also hear the feelings shared and the relief that is being felt to have someone hear them.

If you are a carer or know someone who is, then I may be able to give you the space and support you need to look after your own emotional wellbeing. Please get in touch to see how we can work together, [email protected]

    I think what you said made a lot of sense. But, think on this, what if you typed a
    catchier post title? I ain’t suggesting your content is not solid,
    but what if you added a post title that makes people want more?
    I mean Carers – Counselling with Sarah is a little boring.

    You could peek at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create
    post headlines to grab people to open the links. You might add
    a video or a related picture or two to get people interested about what you’ve got to
    say. In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more
    interesting.

    Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.

    Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of
    this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appeal.

    I must say that you’ve done a very good job with this. In addition, the
    blog loads very fast for me on Chrome. Superb Blog!

    It’s actually very complex in this busy life to listen news
    on Television, thus I just use world wide web for that reason, and obtain the
    most recent news.
