Elderly Counselling
As we grow older, mental health becomes an increasingly vital component of our overall well-being. The golden years bring unique challenges – from retirement and changing social roles to physical health. These changes can significantly impact emotional and psychological wellness, making it essential to provide specialized mental health support tailored to the elderly population.
At Hera Therapy, we recognize that each senior’s life story is unique, shaped by decades of experiences, relationships, and personal growth. Our elderly counselling services are designed with the understanding that mental health support in later life requires a distinct approach that considers this lifetime of wisdom while addressing present-day challenges. By providing dedicated counselling services for the elderly people in Kenya, we aim to support our senior clients in maintaining their dignity, independence, and joy while navigating the unique mental health challenges that can arise in this phase of life.
Professional Approach to Elderly Counselling
As mental health professionals specializing in elderly care, we employ age-sensitive and evidence-based therapeutic techniques that acknowledge the unique life experiences, and wisdom of our senior clients have in Kenya. Our approach combines clinical expertise in geriatric mental health with deep empathy and respect for the complexity of aging, creating a supportive environment where elderly clients can explore their concerns at a comfortable pace. Through gentle, collaborative dialogue and carefully designed interventions, we help our senior clients process life transitions, maintain independence, and develop effective strategies for emotional well-being.

Comprehensive Elderly Therapy Techniques
We employ a diverse array of therapeutic techniques tailored to meet the unique needs of our elderly clients in their journey towards mental wellness:
Reminiscence Therapy
Memory and life experience sharing are powerful therapeutic tools for seniors. Through reminiscence therapy, our counselors create a supportive environment where elderly clients can explore their life stories, celebrate accomplishments, and find meaning in their experiences. This approach helps process emotions, strengthen identity, and maintain cognitive engagement.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Our age-adapted CBT approaches help seniors identify and manage challenging thought patterns, particularly around aging, health, and life transitions. This technique is especially effective for addressing anxiety, depression, and developing positive coping strategies for the unique challenges of later life.
Family Integration Therapy
We recognize that an elderly person’s well-being is deeply connected to their family relationships. Our family integration sessions help improve communication between seniors and their adult children, address caregiving dynamics, and strengthen family support systems. By involving family members when appropriate, we create a comprehensive support network that enhances the therapeutic process.
