How does psychological help with caring for loved ones help you?
Primarily in preventing loss of strength and maintaining health and stability.

Caring for loved ones at home is emotionally demanding and exhausting in the long term. Especially if they are disabled, elderly family members or people with chronic illnesses. In order not to reduce the quality of life of carers, it is essential to maintain one's own mental health and stability. Psychological support for caring for loved ones is a useful tool for this.

We recommend that you do not be shy about contacting a psychologist. You can arrange a consultation not only when you are already caring, but also when you are still considering care. To avoid running out of energy, we recommend regular sessions. A psychologist is a mental support at such times and helps you to overcome any challenges.

In what specific ways can a psychologist help a carer:

  1. Identifying the source of stress and strategies for coping with it. Caring for a family member often leads to severe stress and frustration.
  2. Help with coping with negative emotions. As a caregiver, communication with the ill person affects you and triggers emotional reactions such as sadness, fear, guilt, or helplessness. You need to not only cope with these emotions but also express them.
  3. Adapting to new circumstances and finding stability. Caring for a loved one often radically changes your role in life and disrupts your sense of stability.
  4. Self-care and psycho-hygiene. A psychologist can also help you set healthy boundaries and remind you of the importance of taking care of yourself.
  5. Improving communication within the family. Caring for a loved one affects everyone close to you and has a complex effect on family relationships.

Answers to the most common questions

Anyone dealing with the care of a loved one can contact us. We accompany individuals, couples and entire families. Our approach is individual, so it depends on the specific situation and needs of the client.

You can find us in Prague. We provide our services in the whole territory of the Capital City of Prague and its surroundings. We can come to your home, place of residence or you can come to our premises. We are not opposed to any other place of your choice. And if it is not possible to meet in person, we will establish cooperation over the phone and look for ways to make arrangements. We also work online.

The initial telephone interview is free of charge. Subsequently, the client pays based on the provided service either individual consultations - 900 CZK/hour or in case of longer-term cooperation we agree on the so-called package price. This is tailored to the client's needs.

You can contact us via the web contact form and we will call you back to arrange an initial consultation. Together we will map out your needs and offer possible scenarios for further cooperation and outline available sources of assistance. Consultations take place in person at our premises, at your home, at work or by phone or online.

We enter into cooperation after a common agreement and with precisely specified services. We offer you accompaniment in the care of your loved one for as long as it is needed. Our care can be long term and flexible depending on what is happening and what you need. We are available for times when care is purely up to you, but we also look for formal support options. Should your loved one pass away, we are ready and qualified to accompany you through the grieving period as well. This too makes sense to us.
