Seeing Dementia Differently

Compassionate guidance, clear information. A community for young dementia carers and rare dementia carers, built through lived experience.

Living with, caring for, and supporting someone with dementia can feel confusing, and isolating. You’re probably searching for answers, reassurance, or simply someone who will listen without judgment.

Seeing Dementia Differently offers guidance designed to help you feel heard, informed, and more confident about being a rare dementia, or young dementia carer.

I offer dedicated guidance calls for young dementia carers, carers supporting someone with Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA), and those wanting to learn more about rare dementia.

Each call includes:

  • 30 minute video or telephone call

  • Empathetic, non-judgmental listening

  • Clear education and information about dementia, including rare types

  • Practical tips and techniques you can put into practice immediately

  • Signposting to relevant services and guidance on next steps

You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. The call is a space to talk, ask questions, and gain clarity.

How I Can Help You.

To look forward to…

I intend to host a number of events this year, including Young Carers Karaoke and potentially a sunset boat trip. I want to provide a space for young dementia carers to connect and find community, whilst doing things that feel fun and enjoyable.

I am also creating some resources that I know I would have found helpful as a young carer. More to come on this soon…
