Dementia is a general term for a group of symptoms associated with a decline in brain functioning. In the UK, Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia. As the disease advances, symptoms get more severe and can include loss of memory, disorientation, confusion, and behavioural changes.

 

What causes dementia?

Many types of dementia are caused by brain cells dying and being unable to grow back again. The brain cells naturally reduce in number as we get older, but dementia can result where there is accelerated degeneration.

Clumps of proteins can also form in the brain which result in loss of brain cells and they also affect the number of neurotransmitters in the brain and the chemicals that are used to transmit the messages.

Other types of dementia can be due to genetics, interruptions in the blood supply to the brain, infections to the brain and alcohol induced damage to the brain tissue.

Certain types of dementia can be misdiagnosed because the symptoms are often similar across the dementia spectrum. It is important to get a correct diagnosis, with an expert at assessing dementia, as there are different treatments for the different types of dementia and incorrect treatments can have an adverse affect.

Whilst many dementia conditions are not curable, medication and certain types of therapy have been shown to decrease the rate of progression.

What is Therapy?

Our therapy services are carefully designed to provide you with a welcoming, supportive and productive environment in which you can address and overcome your mental health concerns. Sometimes, being at home and in a familiar surrounding can put you at ease and help you embrace therapy, which is often the first obstacle clients face. We can deliver high-quality, effective assessments and treatments wherever you are in the UK.

Our person-centred approach puts your mental wellbeing or loved one above all else and provides you with the personalised care and attention you need. Following a comprehensive assessment of your unique needs and circumstances, we will develop a bespoke online treatment plan that will enable you to manage your condition effectively.

What can Therapy help me with?

Online therapy allows our expert practitioners to provide the same level of care as they would during an in-person appointment. Whatever your concern, we can help you wherever you are.

What are the benefits of Therapy?

Online therapy is a convenient and life-changing way to access psychotherapy services from anywhere in the UK and in the world. If you don’t feel comfortable attending in-person appointments, or are currently unable to, online therapy offers a practical solution.
