Home Counselling Service for people with Motor Neurone Disease, their carers and family members
Sage Counselling has been working with Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) to bring our home visiting service into the homes of patients and family affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
Receiving a diagnosis of MND or having a loved one with MND can be overwhelming. There may be shock, anger, isolation and intense sadness. Talking with someone outside the family or circle of friends can help both patients, family and carers with the confusing and distressing emotions that come with the diagnosis.
We have been working with the local branch of MNDA since 2018 and have 3 counsellors who deliver the service and 2 supervisors who oversee the work. All attended an initial training to increase their understanding of MND.
Referrals are made through a MND Specialist Practitioner. Once we receive the referral we will get in touch with the patient or family member to arrange an initial session and counselling can proceed from there.
