SERVICES
At Focus Together the emphasis is on supporting people with sight loss including their families. I offer a service that allows people time to concentrate on themselves and move forward.
This specialised service is unlike anything else offered in the Lothian region.
I offer a no-obligation 15 minute phone call to establish if this service is relevant to you.
INTRODUCTORY OFFER
MEET & GREET
1 hour - £50
The initial meet and greet session will very much be an informal chat – there will be no
forms or assessments (but I will take notes on areas we want to address). We will make a
plan and that can be a one-off session, if that is all that is required or affordable.
However, it is likely to be more beneficial to book the Block of 3 Well-being sessions or the Well-being package.
WELL-BEING SESSION
Single 1 hour session: £50
OR
Block of 3 x 1 hourly sessions: £135 (saving of £15)
Sessions will cover the following areas:
-
Emotional - we will work together, moving you forward emotionally and mentally to a positive place. This could be simple conversations or it could be more intensive, helping you find coping strategies or establishing a plan with small achievable steps or goals.
-
Social - we can focus on confidence building, your self-esteem and sense of purpose, whether it’s enjoying a walk together, going to a coffee shop or looking into social groups and classes.
-
Practical - on a more practical basis, I could help with a form, letter, application, bill or phone-call. I can also offer suggestions and demonstrations of visual aids.
-
Signposting and referring - should you require the involvement of external agencies, I can signpost or refer as necessary.
Sessions can be flexible and varied to suit your own personal circumstances.
