Positive Dementia Support
Helping people live well with dementia
Understand dementia, discover what can help and find the right support for you.
Led by Amanda Burnby
Neurological Physiotherapist and Dementia Consultant.
Most people don't need MORE information
They need the RIGHT INFORMATION
A Different Approach
I’ve been supporting people to live well with complex neurological conditions for over 20 years, and I know how incredibly difficult it can be for people to find the right support.
As a neurological physiotherapist, I focus on what a person can do, building on their strengths and abilities and supporting function and independence to help them reach their potential.
I also focus on teaching understanding. Because information without understanding is like standing in front of a locked door. There may be wonderful support on the other side, but you need to know how to access it.
Together, we’ll make sense of dementia, discuss why some things may become more difficult, and look at practical ways to support communication, confidence and connection.
I wish we'd received this information after our diagnosis.

What Families & Carers Are Saying
We felt so supported during the cognitive stimulation program. Being able to do the sessions at home when it suited us has been wonderful.

Research shows us the brain can still respond and adapt
even when changes from dementia are present
