A Wishbone coaching programme
The Supporter.
For those caring for someone who depends on them, whose own needs can become invisible.
The person behind the care
Support for the person who supports.
Caring for someone who deeply depends on you can be a lonely role. It is easy to forget yourself and your own needs when supporting another person takes more time and energy than expected.
Outsiders do not always understand that supporting someone can be both a choice and an obligation, deeply meaningful and isolating—and that you may sometimes feel you have to explain or justify yourself.
The shape of the work
A space where your needs are not an afterthought.
After my former husband’s brain injury, I discovered how little support there can be for the family members supporting the person at the centre of an illness or injury. In a heartbeat, the world, the family, and the things you value can all change. A new structure has to take form.

That experience is why I always intended, as a coach, to support family members of people living with a brain injury or another life-changing condition. The Supporter grew from that intention and from my wish to make room for the person whose own needs can become invisible.
The person you support does not have to disappear from the picture for you to come into it. I listen closely, ask open questions, and support you in giving sustained attention to your own needs, questions, and next steps.
This is private coaching—not therapy, medical care, carer navigation, or specialist clinical support.
