Counselling for life transitions
Life is shaped by change. Even changes we chose can carry a sense of loss for the life, role or identity we are leaving behind.
Children leaving home. Moving away. Retiring. Becoming a parent. A relationship changing. Each can bring a mix of feelings, from hope to uncertainty and grief.
Sometimes the loss is of something that never happened: the family you hoped for, the career that did not work out, the future you had imagined. These losses are easy for others to overlook and hard to put into words, but they are real.
How counselling can help
- Making sense of what is changing and how you feel about it
- Grieving the hopes, plans or expectations that will not now happen
- Exploring questions of identity, purpose and direction
- Building steadiness during an uncertain time
- Reconnecting with what matters to you as the next chapter takes shape
Change can be a time of loss and of growth. Counselling gives you room for both.
Not all loss is bereavement, but all loss can bring grief.
