Empowered Carers
Empowered Carers provide dementia focused therapeutic sessions around coping with the realities of living with dementia.
Our team offer an unique service to support family Caregivers across Greater Manchester, either online or telephone, so that people can access support from the comfort of their own home. Caregivers are paired up with one of our experienced and compassionate team members. They offer a safe and non-judgmental confidential space for Caregivers to talk about their everyday challenges, to explore emotions, their own health and wellbeing and support around caring transitions.
Caregivers are offered 3 sessions for free to see if this support is right for them. We offer 30 minute sessions at £30.00 at a frequency that suits you. Sessions can be paid for by using your Carers Personal Budget from your Local Authority following your annual Carers Assessment.

Empowered Carers is based on the emotional support model of the New York University Caregiver Intervention (NYUCI). Empowered Carers is delivered by qualified counsellors with a collective, 40 years experience in dementia supervised by a BPC registered psychodynamic psychotherapist.
