Frequently asked questions
Is therapy suitable for older adults too?
Yes. Age is no barrier to therapy, and sessions move at the person's own pace and needs.
Can adult children book for a parent?
They can help with booking, but the session takes place with the older person's own consent and presence.
What if an online session feels unfamiliar?
A family member can help with joining the session, and an audio-only session without video is also possible.
