MORE THAN A CARER
Therapeutic Audio Support for Family Carers
Supporting the person behind the caring
If you are caring for someone you love, it can be easy for your own needs to become less visible.
There are appointments to remember, routines to maintain, decisions to make and difficult moments to manage.
And somewhere amongst all of this, there is another person whose needs matter too.
You.
You are not simply a carer. You are a person with your own feelings, needs, hopes, frustrations, memories, relationships and dreams.
More Than A Carer was created to give that person a little time and space.
A Little Time That Belongs to You
More Than A Carer is a five-part therapeutic audio programme created specifically to support the emotional wellbeing of family carers.
It isn't about telling you how to care for someone, and it isn't medical advice.
Instead, the recordings offer something quieter, a little time that belongs to you.
Within the audio collection is gentle therapeutic guidance, reflection, relaxation and consideration to help you step away from the demands of caring for a little while and reconnect with yourself.

The programme includes:
Session One – Understanding Compassion Fatigue
Caring deeply for someone over a long period can become exhausting.
This recording helps you recognise compassion fatigue and understand that feeling emotionally drained doesn't mean you care any less.
Sometimes it simply means you have been caring for a very long time.
Session Two – Personal Wellbeing Matters
It can be surprisingly difficult to put your own wellbeing back on the list of things that matter.
This recording gently invites you to consider your own wellbeing without guilt.
Because you matter too.
Session Three – Keeping Hold of Who You Are
Caring can gradually occupy more and more of life.Interests may be put aside. Friendships may become less frequent. Plans may change.
This recording explores the importance of maintaining a sense of identity beyond the caring role.
The carer is only one part of who you are.
Session Four – Giving Yourself Permission to Receive Support
Many carers are remarkably good at giving.
Asking for help can feel much harder.
This recording gently explores the possibility that receiving support isn't a weakness.
You don't have to carry everything alone.
Bonus Reinforcement Recording – Finding Moments of Peace Within The Journey
A quieter recording to return to whenever you need a few moments to breathe, pause and rest.
It may not change the circumstances of caring.
But perhaps it can make the next part of the journey a little easier to walk.
Listen In Your Own Way
There is no single correct way to use More Than A Carer.
You can listen to the recordings in any order, or return to individual recordings whenever you feel they are relevant.
There is no pressure to do it perfectly.
This is your time.
You don't have to feel anything in particular. You don't have to relax in a certain way. You don't have to have a great insight.
Simply give yourself the opportunity to pause and listen.
Created With Understanding
More Than A Carer has grown from many years of therapeutic practice and the development of digital health and wellbeing resources.
The approach is deliberately gentle. We don't believe carers need to be told to simply “stay positive.”
We recognise that caring can contain many things at once:
Love and frustration.
Strength and exhaustion.
Connection and loneliness.
Hope and uncertainty.
Sometimes all within the same day.
The recordings are designed to meet you within that reality — with kindness, without judgement, and without asking you to be anything other than yourself.
You Are More Than A Carer
Caring is something you do.
It is not everything you are.
Behind the appointments, medication, routines, decisions and responsibilities is a person who deserves care too.
Perhaps you can begin by giving yourself something that has been quietly missing.
A little understanding.
A little kindness.
A little time.
You are more than a carer.
You matter too.
