You’re Supporting Someone You Love — Who’s Supporting You?
Caring for others doesn’t mean you have to do it all alone.
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s can be deeply emotional, often filled with both love and loss. It’s a role that can bring meaning and connection, but it can also leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and alone.
Therapy offers a space just for you — to make sense of what you’re feeling, to tend to your own needs, and to feel supported as you support someone else.
What Is Alzheimer’s?
Alzheimer’s is a progressive brain disease that slowly affects memory, thinking, and behaviour. It’s the most common form of dementia and can change how a person communicates, relates, and experiences the world.
As the disease progresses, the emotional and practical demands on caregivers can grow — sometimes quietly, sometimes all at once. You may find yourself grieving even while your loved one is still here. These complex emotions are a natural part of caregiving, and therapy can help you move through them with support and compassion.
You Deserve Care, Too
Your role as a caregiver is incredibly important — but so is your well-being. Whether you’re navigating daily stress, emotional fatigue, or simply need space to be yourself again, therapy can offer:
-
Support for feelings of grief, guilt, sadness, or burnout
-
Help managing changing family roles and expectations
-
Tools for setting healthy boundaries
-
A space to reconnect with your own identity and needs
-
Gentle encouragement when things feel heavy

Caregiving Can Be a Gift — But You Shouldn’t Have to Do It Alone
There is strength and beauty in what you’re doing. But being a caregiver doesn’t mean you have to carry everything by yourself.
Therapy offers you a place to pause, reflect, and feel supported — not just as a caregiver, but as a whole person.
