What is Cognitive Stimulation Therapy?

Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is an evidence-based, structured program shown to enhance memory, cognition, communication, mood and wellbeing.

CST was initially developed in the United Kingdom by Professors Aimee Spector, Martin Orrell and Bob Woods through reviewing non-drug treatments for dementia and combining key elements into a structured program. Today, CST is used in 39 countries and has been adapted for a number of different languages and cultures..

How Can CST Help Me?

CST can improve cognition and language skills, which helps slow the disease progression.

Participants often experience improved wellbeing, and report feeling less anxious and depressed.

CST encourages social interaction & conversations, which can strengthen social skills and confidence.

Cognitive Stimulation Therapy uses a variety of materials and hands-on activities to stimulate cognitive function and actively engage participants. CST uses 18 key principles to support mental stimulation and social interaction. The activities in the CST treatment reinforce thinking, encourage new learning and improve self-confidence and social skills. You can find more information about CST here

Thank you for being so kind and compassionate with my mother... I'm so grateful to you.

It’s nice to be among others who share the same condition. There’s understanding and acceptance, and if something needs to be repeated it's okay. We support and encourage one another.

How We Are Different

A dementia diagnosis can feel overwhelming, not just for the person receiving it, but also for their loved ones. Too often, people are left feeling hopeless, with advice to simply "Get your affairs in order."

We are here to change that story.

A dementia diagnosis does not mean the end of a meaningful or fulfilling life.

With the right support, you can continue to live well, set exciting life goals, and embrace a life full of possibilities. Whether it’s unlocking your potential through Cognitive Stimulation Therapy, re-establishing life goals and finding a new purpose in life, or reaching out for help navigating tricky situations, we are here for you every step of the way.

We are here for families and healthcare providers too!

When words become difficult, behaviours become a way to communicate. Repetitive pacing, aggressive outbursts, suspicion, or social withdrawal are not 'problems'—they are signals that something needs attention.

With over 20 years of experience, we’ve seen first hand the profound difference the right support can make. Let us help you make sense of your situation and guide you in regaining control, so you can get back to living your best life with your family.
