Dementia Support in Gloucester

At Aaron Shaw Psychology, I provide professional psychological support for individuals affected by dementia and for family members and carers across Gloucester experiencing the emotional impact of cognitive decline and caregiving responsibilities.

​

Dementia can affect memory, communication, confidence, emotional wellbeing, and independence. Family members and carers are also often affected by the ongoing emotional and practical demands of supporting someone living with dementia.

Therapy provides a supportive space to better understand these experiences and develop healthier coping strategies during periods of adjustment and change.

Support may be helpful for individuals experiencing:

​

• Memory and concentration difficulties

• Anxiety linked to cognitive changes

• Emotional distress following diagnosis

• Reduced confidence or independence

• Difficulties coping with change

• Stress, frustration, or low mood

Therapy can support emotional wellbeing while helping individuals adapt to cognitive changes in day-to-day life.

Caring for someone living with dementia can be emotionally and physically demanding.

​

Many carers experience:

​

• Emotional exhaustion and burnout

• Anxiety about the future

• Feelings of helplessness or guilt

• Increased stress and overwhelm

• Emotional adjustment difficulties

• Reduced time for their own wellbeing

Psychological support can help carers better manage these pressures while maintaining emotional resilience and self-care.

I have professional experience working within dementia assessment and diagnostic services, supporting individuals with cognitive difficulties and working alongside families throughout assessment and post-diagnostic support processes.

​

This includes understanding:

• cognitive presentations

• emotional adjustment following diagnosis

• caregiver wellbeing and stress

• dementia-related family dynamics

• practical and psychological support needs

My approach is evidence-based, compassionate, and tailored to individual and family needs.

​

Support may include:

​

• Emotional support following diagnosis

• Carer wellbeing and stress management

• Psychoeducation around dementia and cognitive change

• Compassion-focused approaches

• Practical coping strategies
