At Blume Therapy and Wellness, we offer specialized dementia support and counselling in Barrie for individuals, families, and caregivers affected by dementia. We understand that dementia brings many emotional layers — grief, confusion, frustration, fear, and exhaustion — for both the person experiencing memory changes and their loved ones providing care.
Our therapists provide a safe, welcoming space where you can process these emotions and find guidance through the changes dementia brings. Sessions are tailored to your needs and may include: emotional support for coping with memory loss, role shifts, and uncertainty, guidance for caregivers on managing stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue, strategies to navigate communication challenges and behavioural changes, support for maintaining connection and dignity in the midst of change, tools for grief, anticipatory loss, and long-term emotional wellbeing
Through virtual counselling, we make it easy for individuals and families in Barrie and surrounding areas to access professional, compassionate care from home — designed to fit your schedule and support your unique journey.
At Blume Therapy and Wellness, we believe that no one should walk through dementia alone. With warmth, understanding, and evidence-informed care, we help you find resilience, comfort, and connection — even in the most challenging moments.

The Importance of Support for Dementia Care
Grief and emotional challenges related to dementia are often misunderstood, as if they should be managed quietly or endured alone. In reality, caring for a loved one with dementia or coping with its effects can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. Whether you are managing anticipatory grief, ambiguous loss, sudden changes, or end-of-life transitions, these experiences can bring sadness, frustration, guilt, confusion, and deep longing. At Blume Therapy and Wellness, we see you, we hear you, and we hold space for all of these feelings.
Dementia impacts every part of life. The stress of caregiving, the heartbreak of witnessing decline, and the uncertainty of illness can leave you feeling disconnected and emotionally drained. Therapy provides a safe and compassionate space to process these experiences, release the weight you’ve been carrying, and find guidance and support through the challenges of dementia.
Whether you are facing the emotional demands of daily caregiving or struggling with the invisible weight of anticipatory grief, we are here to walk alongside you. Our counselling supports your resilience, honours your experiences, and helps you reconnect with yourself while navigating one of life’s most difficult and transformative challenges.
What You Can Expect from Dementia Support
When you begin dementia support and counselling at Blume Therapy and Wellness, you can expect a compassionate, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where your experiences are honoured and your challenges are deeply understood. Our therapists are here to listen, provide guidance, and walk alongside you through the emotional complexities of dementia—whether you are a caregiver managing daily responsibilities, a family member coping with changes, or an individual adjusting to a diagnosis.
Each session is tailored to meet you exactly where you are. We explore the wide range of emotions that can arise, including grief, frustration, sadness, anxiety, and guilt. Sessions may include practical coping strategies, mindfulness and self-care approaches, and support for maintaining emotional and mental wellbeing while navigating the challenges of dementia.
Our goal is not to “fix” the experience of dementia but to help you build resilience, deepen self-compassion, and find grounding in the midst of change. Whether you are seeking guidance, emotional support, or strategies for coping with the daily realities of dementia, our counselling offers a safe space to be seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.
