A Port In A Storm


Anchorage & Collaboration in a Tempestuous World

Independent Care Consultant


Rebecca Trezise - A Port In A Storm

Hello, with over 25 years experience of managing high quality care provision, I recognise that, if ever there was a time when older people and their families need A Port in a Storm it is now.

I have spoken to hundreds of people during my career in the care profession. The most common emotion expressed during their first contact is fear. This is both fear of the unknown (most commonly expressed by the family member), or the fear of loss of control by the individual themselves.

The next most common emotion expressed is frustration. Frustration, at not being able to find the right person who can help and is willing to listen or frustration with a relative refusing to agree to support.

I have the expertise to guide you to a solution. My approach is a common sense, friendly, practical approach, interpreting your needs and wishes and translating them into solution based care package options. More about my expertise and history on the "Port In A Storm" page.

Do you feel that your right to make choices has been taken away from you and that decisions are being made for you?

Has it been the case that you have felt that you have had to accept what was offered or go without?

Using my extensive experience and knowledge of the types of change and conditions we experience as we age, I have devised the, easy to navigate, layers of support that I can offer. These 6 layers of guidance and support have been created by me to facilitate and create conversation points to enable us, together, to create plans for practical and desired structures of support.

After your first initial contact and chat with me The Foundation Layer Consultation is the place to start. You can book this with me if you would like to take things further.

This first consultation forms the necessary understanding of your individual situation. It enables independent basic advice on necessary areas of focus or possible funding. It also gives access to our other suitable Layers of Support if required. This consultation will normally take place on the phone or virtually e.g.via Zoom.

The cost for this is £75.00.

I live in Norfolk but am able to provide my service virtually in other counties of England.

Please see below for details of the different layers available and the links to the corresponding pages.

Stormy Seas!

As we get older we often sail into stormy seas!

These can be difficult to navigate without support & guidance.

Accept the Help!

It is often hard to grasp onto help when it is offered. Treading water is not sustainable for long.

Crisis!

When emergencies occur it can be hard to know how to manage the crisis situation you are in.

Restore the Balance!

Crisis can often only show the tip of the iceberg. It is important to steady the ship and establish balance.

Renewed Wellbeing!

Life is for living not just existing.

Enhance feelings of wellbeing and maintain independence.

Peace of Mind!

If ever there was a time when older people and their families need A Port in A Storm it is now. We will listen to you to gain understanding, collaborate with you and support you to regain some peace of mind.

To move towards establishing that Peace of Mind please get in touch for an an initial chat or to book a Foundation Consultation (details below).
