Caring for myself while caring for others

I was already carrying ongoing mental health struggles when someone close to me became very unwell. I felt isolated, torn and emotionally exhausted, and I needed somewhere safe to explore how I was feeling.

The support helped me feel less alone, gave me more clarity around my emotions, and helped me manage the guilt of trying to care for myself while also supporting someone else.

The therapist has been kind, compassionate and flexible, and the support has been a lifeline during a very difficult time.
