Support Offerings
I offer calm, steady support for the aging journey and end of life transition. Below are the ways I can support you.
Unhurried Companionship for Older People
Gentle, present 1:1 visits offering conversation, light activities, or simply quiet company. These visits are unhurried and centred around the needs of your loved one on the day. This may include sitting together, sharing stories, going for a short walk, reading, preparing a cup of tea or simply being in calm companionship. My focus is to ensure your loved one feels seen, safe and genuinely cared for.
Visits are typically 120 mins and they can take place in the home, at a care facility or hospital setting.
End of Life Planning Support
Supportive conversations around end of life wishes, values and practical planning. Together we can discuss advance care directives, personal preferences, legacy wishes and ways to approach this stage with clarity and calm. The intention is not to rush decisions, but to bring steadiness and understanding to what can often feel overwhelming.
Sessions are typically 120 mins + and often require two sessions. This can take place at the home or any relaxed environment for example a quiet café.
Support During the Final Days
Gentle support for individuals and families during the final days and hours of life. I offer my presence during the vigil period and can assist in preparing a gentle and comforting space. This may include practical support, quiet companionship, guidance for family members or loved ones and helping to create an atmosphere that honours the significance of this time.
Support can be tailored to the needs of the individual and their loved ones.
Emotional Support Conversations
Informal meet ups to talk, be heard and receive gentle presence. Sometimes what is most needed is simply a safe space to speak openly. These sessions are relaxed and supportive, offering time to process change, ageing, grief or uncertainty. There is no pressure or expectation – only steady support.
Sessions are typically 60 mins
Phone & Zoom Support
Weekly remote sessions for those who prefer to connect by phone or Zoom. This space is available for individuals or loved ones seeking guidance, emotional support or a steady conversation around the ageing or end of life journey. Sessions run for 60 minutes and are intentionally limited to one or two appointments per week to ensure each conversation is held with full presence and care. This is a supportive, reflective space and is not intended as a crisis service.
Sessions are available once per week by appointment.
Fees
Services are offered on an hourly basis and may be arranged privately or through an aged care package, where applicable. I am happy to discuss current fees and options with you during our initial conversation.
If you feel one of these offerings may be right for you or your loved one, I welcome you to reach out. We can arrange a gentle phone conversation to explore what support may be most helpful and whether we are the right fit. In person services are available within the Townsville region. Referrals from families,nursing homes and care providers are welcome.
