When caregiving becomes overwhelming, let me step in.

Caring for a loved one navigating a mental health crisis, severe anxiety, or dementia is exhausting. The endless worry, medical appointments, paperwork, and house management can quickly lead to burnout. You cannot do it all alone, and you don't have to.

As a Care And Wellbeing Companion with over thirty years as a professional artist and a background in Social Sciences, I provide tailored, practical care support and advocacy for all ages across Suffolk and North Essex, giving you the breathing space you need to recharge.

Why Families Hire Me For Care Support

Crisis & Dementia Support: I bring calm to distressed environments, using reflective conversations and tailored creative and intellectual engagement to de-escalate anxiety and stimulate cognitive pathways.

Personal Advocacy & Administrative Support: I streamline daily life for my clients by managing high-volume correspondence, organising official mail, and accompanying them to medical and legal appointments to ensure their voice is heard and communication is seamless.

House Management & Errands: I keep the household running smoothly by providing help with grocery shopping, running errands, decluttering, and organising spaces.

Independence & Vitality: I assist with daily schedules, prompting routines and light movement to help individuals maintain their physical strength and dignity.

By trusting me, you gain a professional ally who manages both the emotional and practical weights of daily life, giving your family true peace of mind.
