Structured, 1:1 online sessions to support communication, practical next steps and the emotional load of living alongside Type 1 diabetes

These sessions have been developed in collaboration with parents, partners, siblings and people living with Type 1 diabetes, so the space reflects the reality that people involved in support actually face, not just the theory.

What Sessions feel like

Every experience of Type 1 diabetes is different, and every family needs support that fits their individual situation. Some people prefer more practical and focused sessions, while others are looking for a slower pace to reflect on their experience living alongside Type 1 diabetes. These sessions are designed to act as a framework that can be tailored to you. If you have any specific concerns or issues you would like to work through, you can always contact me before booking a session so we can find a structure that works for you.

Whether the person you are supporting is newly diagnosed or has been living with the condition for a number of years, these sessions aim to support people at all stages of their journey with Type 1 diabetes.
