What is HearMe?

A project - requested by our members - that is aimed at providing counselling therapies to everyone in families affected by Parkinson’s – the diagnosed person and their partners, children, or parents. 

​

Whether you and your family are dealing with a new diagnosis, or the impact of the condition on your quality of life and relationships, HearMe may be able to help.

​

How?

Expressing your feelings as much or as little as you want to a trained counselor in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment can be extremely beneficial. In particular, it can help you review your feelings in a positive way by clarifying the issues, exploring options, and developing strategies.​​

​

How do I arrange this – and how much will it cost?

​Please email us at hearme@parkinsons.me with a few details of your circumstances. We will then explain how to identify counselling suppport.

​

We will pay for an initial period of up to six counselling sessions. Following a review, this may be extended to a further six sessions. There will be no cost to you unless you decided to extend the counselling beyond twelve sessions and pay for these yourself.
