Counselling & Psychotherapy with Older People

Counselling & Psychotherapy with Older People - Recording

This session will give an overview of distress experiences that adults can face late in life whether living independently or in care. Collectively these experiences will relate to grief or loss, depression, stress, anxiety, risk factors and/or trauma. Special mention will be made of COVID-19 stress. Attendees will come away more fully informed about the diverse range of clients and situations that therapists may encounter for this demographic. The presentation will also cover how to overcome barriers to engagement for those unfamiliar with therapy, key assessment tools, how to adapt evidence-based modalities to suit a range of complexities and ethical considerations. The speaker will provide attendees with a rich practice informed presentation as well as an opportunity for questions and answers at the end of each segment. This session is suitable for counsellors and psychotherapists either wanting to prepare themselves for our ageing population or who currently have older adults as their core client group.
