About us
Empowered Carers provide Dementia Specific Therapeutic sessions around coping with the realities of living with Dementia . Our team offer a unique service to support family caregivers either online or on telephone so that people can access support from the comfort of their own homes. Caregivers are paired up with one of our experienced and compassionate team members. They offer a safe and non judgmental confidential space for caregivers to talk about their everyday challenges, to explore emotions, their own health and wellbeing and support around transitions. Sessions would then be charged at £30 per 30 min session.

Member organisations *
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
