Older People's Counselling Therapists in Brighton & Hove

Supporting Emotional Well-Being in Older Adults

As individuals age, they may face unique emotional challenges such as coping with loss, retirement, physical health issues, or feelings of isolation. Older people's counselling provides emotional support for navigating these life transitions, addressing grief, and maintaining mental health and well-being in later life.

The Role of Counselling in Later Life

Counselling helps older adults explore their feelings about aging, process the emotional impact of losing loved ones, and find new purpose in life. Therapy offers a space to discuss fears, anxieties, or feelings of loneliness that may arise in later life.

Building Emotional Resilience

Through therapy, older individuals can build emotional resilience, learn to manage grief, and foster a positive outlook on life. Counselling also supports individuals in finding joy and meaning in new activities and relationships, improving overall quality of life.

Supporting Family Dynamics

Older people's counselling also addresses the changing dynamics within families, helping older adults maintain healthy relationships with loved ones, improve communication, and address caregiving challenges.

Jaz Stroe

Therapist / Counsellor

A Registered Member of the BACP, I've trained extensively in psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling, working with the past, memories, dreams and the unconscious. I also volunteer with two leading mental health organisations and benefit from bi-weekly supervision to deepen my knowledge and approach.I’m also a third-culture person. I grew up in the UK with mixed Romanian and Serbian heritage. I know what it's like to perform versions of yourself while quietly feeling like someone else. Cultural identity, migration, belonging and othering are all woven into my psychology and therapeutic practice.I aim to maintain a genuinely inclusive space across culture, identity, sexual orientation, relationship structure, faith, and background. I don't work from a single script of what a person, a relationship, or a life should look like. I work within an ethic of non-harm, to self and to others, and I ask the same of the therapeutic space we share.Ultimately, I came into this work wanting to understand and aid my own mental wellbeing. I've had personal therapy for over a decade. I can only take you as far as I've gone myself, and I've gone deep. In other words, you're in safe hands, and you will be held week after week, for as long as you keep showing up.
