Specialist Engagement Strategies
Finding ways to engage with someone living with dementia can feel challenging. You don't always know what to say.
What activity to offer? Your loved one may refuse everything and anything you suggest!
Or they keep asking, "What do I do?" And you struggle to answer...

These private sessions are meant for you.

Get-to-Know me Session
FREE
This free 30-minute session is a chance for us to meet and discuss your needs, what you can expect from this service, and how I work. It’s also a space for you to get a feel for who I am, so you can decide if working together feels like the right fit for you.
2 Engagement Sessions (Online Meetings)
£100
This programme consists of two structured 1-hour sessions.
Session 1:
Focused on an engagement assessment. We explore how your loved one currently engages with you, the situations you find challenging, and what may be influencing their responses. Based on this, we identify and plan engagement strategies for you to try between sessions.
Session 2:
The second session is dedicated to reflection and adjustment. We look at how the implementation felt for you, what worked, what didn’t, and how the strategies can be adapted to better suit you and your loved one.
These sessions are meant to be online. In-person or at-home meetings are possible on a case-by-case basis, and additional charges may occur (see T&C).
In-Depth Engagement Program (Hybrid)
£250 + Travels for session 2
Less than 20 miles from Morrisons EX4 7BY is free of charge. Additional charges may apply for longer distances.
This programme consists of three structured 1-hour sessions.
Session 1:
We begin with an engagement assessment focused on your current situation. Together, we explore how your loved one engages with you, the moments you find most challenging, and what may be influencing their responses. Based on this discussion, we identify engagement strategies for you to try between sessions.
Session 2 (In-Person Meeting):
This session takes place in your loved one’s home or care setting. I observe and guide as you engage with your loved one and begin implementing the strategies discussed in Session 1. My role is to support and guide engagement while you remain the primary person interacting with your loved one.
Session 3:
In this final session, we reflect on the implementation together. We discuss how the experience felt for you, what seemed to work, what didn’t, and how the strategies can be adjusted to better suit both you and your loved one moving forward.
Sessions 1 and 3 are meant to be online. In-person or at-home meetings are possible on a case-by-case basis, and additional charges may occur (see T&C).
