Statistically 60% of residents in care homes experience poor mental health and yet only 15-27% of those suffering are identified by staff members.
Berwick & Borders Therapies offer in-person visits for individual residents.  Counselling, Psychotherapy and other acknowledged talking therapies for older people have proven highly beneficial in improving mental and emotional well-being.  They include helping to recognise intrusive thoughts, building coping skills and reducing feelings of frustration, isolation or grief.  The one to one therapy process helps alleviate the effects of depression or anxiety by giving focused attention to the individual persons identity which preserves their self-esteem and independence whilst improving relationships with others.
