- On a roller-coaster of guilt, anxiety, fear and exhaustion
- Struggling to communicate with a relative who has dementia
- Arguing with siblings about the best plan and who should do what
- Trying to provide or organise eldercare 'from a distance'?

What my clients say...
"When my father passed away I became immediately responsible for my mother who had MS and lived 3 hours away. I was already juggling a very busy job and a toddler and felt like I was doing everything badly. My life felt like a bad soap opera‚ friends/partner just didn't understand. I thought I needed to learn how to not 'drop any more balls' but Lesley challenged my thoughts and actions and made me realise that I needed to ask for more help - at home, at work, at Mums'. Lesley offered a space space to download to someone with relevant experience and the coaching really helped me come up with a new plan of action" (Lizi, Portfolio Manager, Dec 2023)
"Eldercare coaching helped me persuade my father to go into sheltered accommodation. Now I have more time for work and family and much less stress!" (Working carer, London)
"My elderly motherwas making my life an absolute hell. Lesley was constructive, supportive and empathetic. I would not hesitate to recommend her. Her eldercare coaching shows you how to think around problems in a different way" (R.A. Hastings)
