Empatia Specialist Dementia Coaching
Specialist Dementia Support That Goes Beyond Care
Empatia provides specialist dementia support that goes beyond care.
Dementia changes everything — but the right support can change how it feels.
I’m Amy Kerti. I work with people living with dementia and their families to reduce distress, strengthen relationships, and bring a sense of stability back into daily life.
This is not a care service, this is not a sitting service or general advice.
It’s specialist, therapeutic support and advanced education— tailored to the real challenges you’re facing, and built to make a meaningful difference.
Understanding & Managing Distress and Behaviour
Struggling with Behaviour, Distress or Conflict?
When dementia leads to distress, agitation, or changes in behaviour, it can feel overwhelming — and often nothing seems to work.
This isn’t just “part of dementia”.
There is always a reason behind it.
I specialise in understanding what’s driving these changes and helping you respond in ways that reduce distress, improve day-to-day life, and manage the wider challenges you’re facing alongside dementia.
This support helps you to:
Understand what’s behind behaviour and distress
Reduce conflict, anxiety, and escalation
Respond calmly and effectively in difficult moments
Strengthen connection and rebuild trust
Feel more in control of what’s happening
This is for families who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next.
Includes in-depth assessment, personalised formulation, and practical strategies that work in real life.
Making Sense of Dementia & Planning Ahead
Trying to Make Sense of Dementia and What Comes Next?
After a diagnosis — or even before — many people are left trying to figure things out on their own.
What does this mean?
What should we expect?
How do we adapt without losing ourselves?
This support gives you clarity, direction, and confidence early on — so you’re not constantly reacting to change.
We focus on:
Understanding symptoms and how dementia is affecting you
Making sense of changes in behaviour and communication
Protecting identity, roles, and relationships
Adjusting emotionally as a family
Planning ahead in a way that feels manageable
This creates a strong foundation — so things feel more stable, informed, and less overwhelming.
Ongoing Specialist Support
Feeling the Emotional Weight of Dementia?
Dementia doesn’t just change memory — it changes relationships, roles, and how life feels day to day.
Over time, many people in a supportive and caring role experience:
ongoing stress and exhaustion
frustration, guilt, or emotional overwhelm
a sense of loss, even while the person is still here
This is where ongoing support matters.
These sessions provide space to think, process, and adjust — while developing the skills and resilience to keep going.
Ongoing support helps you to:
manage stress, burnout, and emotional strain
work through grief, loss, and complex feelings
improve communication and reduce tension
maintain strong, meaningful relationships
feel more confident and steady over time
Joint Coaching – Stay Connected Through Dementia
Dementia can place real strain on relationships — leading to tension, distance, and misunderstanding.
This support is designed for both the person living with dementia and the person alongside them — helping you understand what’s changing and how to navigate it together.
We focus on:
Improving communication and emotional understanding
Reducing tension, frustration, and misinterpretation
Strengthening your relationship as you adapt to change
Maintaining connection, closeness, and shared moments
You don’t have to work this out alone.
We help you respond differently, understand each other more clearly, and move forward together with greater confidence and stability.
