Abstract: The article focuses on the mental health challenges faced by South Asian dementia caregivers in the UK, highlighting cultural stigma, intergenerational trauma, and systemic barriers that limit access to talking therapies. It emphasizes the suitability of person-centred psychotherapy, which prioritizes empathy, non-judgment, and cultural respect, as a therapeutic approach that aligns with South Asian collectivist values and caregiving roles. The article calls for increased cultural competence among therapists, community engagement, and systemic changes to improve awareness, accessibility, and culturally sensitive dementia care services. It also underscores the importance of recognizing diverse South Asian subgroups, such as British/Indian Mauritians, whose specific experiences are often overlooked in research and service provision.
