Aging brings wisdom, experience, and perspective — but it can also bring profound emotional shifts, isolation, grief, cognitive changes, and identity challenges. At Mindtone, our Geriatric Counselling service is dedicated to supporting the psychological and emotional needs of older adults with empathy, dignity, and care. Our therapists work closely with seniors and their families to help them navigate life’s transitions with confidence, reconnect with meaning, and maintain emotional wellbeing in the later stages of life.
Understanding Geriatric Counselling
Geriatric counselling is a specialized form of therapy that focuses on the mental health challenges faced by individuals aged 60 and above. This includes anxiety, depression, loneliness, fear of death, grief from loss of loved ones, retirement adjustment, chronic illness, and memory-related concerns. Unlike general counselling, geriatric therapy is designed with sensitivity to the lived experiences of older adults — acknowledging generational beliefs, long-held emotional patterns, and the need for life review.
At Mindtone, we approach geriatric mental health with immense patience and therapeutic presence, creating a calm and non-judgmental space where seniors can explore unresolved emotions, reframe their purpose, and find peace within themselves.
Our mission is not just to manage symptoms but to help seniors reconnect with their inner sense of vitality. From addressing long-standing emotional wounds to fostering a present-focused mindset, our therapy empowers the elderly to embrace aging as a journey of rediscovery, not decline.
Therapy That Adapts With Age
Aging is not just a physical journey — it’s also deeply emotional. For some, it’s the loss of identity post-retirement. For others, it’s the fear of being left behind or forgotten. Our therapists are trained to recognize and work through these nuanced concerns using a combination of narrative therapy, CBT, reminiscence therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and supportive dialogue.
We also help older adults strengthen communication with family members, address generational guilt or unresolved trauma, and find meaning in current relationships. Whether living independently or in elder care homes, every senior deserves to feel heard, supported, and emotionally safe.
Support for Families and Caregivers
Caring for an aging parent or grandparent can be emotionally and mentally draining. We extend our support not only to elders but to their caregivers as well. Our therapy sessions guide families in setting boundaries, offering better emotional support, and navigating tough conversations around aging, memory loss, or end-of-life care. With Mindtone, geriatric counselling becomes a bridge between generations — fostering compassion and understanding.
