Adults experiencing Life Transitions, Grief, and unplanned life events

Counselling may offer vital support for adults navigating unplanned life changes by providing a safe, non-judgmental space to process emotions, gain clarity, navigate complex situations and develop healthy coping strategies in a confidential and neutral space. 

It helps individuals reframe their experiences, build resilience, and make informed decisions amid uncertainty. Through guided reflective feedback and professional insight, counselling can restore a sense of control, improve emotional well-being, and foster personal growth during periods of disruption and transition.  When first meeting a counselling, it may be difficult to initially grapple with what has caused changes to mood.  

As a therapist I am constantly curious about what has happened to a person as opposed to what is wrong with a person. 

Examples may include; 

• Adjustment issues

• Trauma recovery

• Navigating co-parenting vs parallel parenting 

• Relationship breakdowns

• Grief and loss/bereavement care

• Supporting those bereaved by suicide, homicide or shock deaths such as tragic accidents

• Life Transitions, such as adjusting to unplanned changes in life, retirement, divorce, separation

• Interpersonal disputes

• Emotional regulation/anger management

• Mens Health issues

• Workplace stressors 

• Critical incident de-briefing

• Adversity in family of origin

• Domestic violence and family violence

• Relationship issues (intimate, family and workplace)

• Survivors of sexual assault (male and female in childhood and adulthood)

• Sexuality issues

• LGBTQIA friendly based care in all settings

• Substance use/alcohol and other drugs support to individuals and loved ones of those effected by addiction

• Family and parenting (attachment)

• Carer support

• Adjustment to illness

• Survivors of torture and trauma

• Cross cultural care

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.
