​Life Transitions

Life Transitions 
Are you experiencing life transitions that alter the way you live your life? 

Transitions such as; lifestyles changes, caregiving, empty nest, grieving a loss, changing careers, relationship changes, personal changes, health issues, moving, and aging can be challenging and difficult to navigate through on your own.  Having someone to guide and support you through these transitions can be beneficial. 


Midlife
Midlife crisis is defined as: going through a period of dramatic self doubt brought on by the realization life is half over and you haven't accomplished you wanted to do. The result may be a desire to make significant changes in certain aspects of your day to day life.

This can be a very stressful time for not only you who is experiencing the crisis, but also for others involved in your life. Counselling offers understanding and support through these difficult times


Caregiver Stress 
Balancing caregiving and other responsibilities can be one of the most challenging situations you will encounter. This can have a significantly bigger impact on your life than you anticipated. It can affect your job, your relationships and your own sense of self. Finding time for yourself and/or as a couple and maintaining your own sense of well being is extremely important and often very hard to do.

Having someone to talk to about your concerns, frustrations, fears, and numerous other emotions which surface and seem impossible to handle is one of the most important and helpful things you can do for yourself.


Family-of-Origin Issues 
A lot of present day emotional or mental health problems can be a result of Family-of-Origin experiences. Anger, frustration, the need to control, depression, fear and anxiety can all be connected to unresolved issues from the past. Understanding how the past has impacted you can help you make lasting changes in your future.


Separation/Divorce 
If your marriage fails, you are likely to feel a whole range of intense emotions: sadness, anger, hurt, fear of an uncertain future, loneliness, confusion over the many decisions you must make, and loss of plans and dreams you may have had.  How you choose to handle a separation will affect the rest of your life.
​

Taking the steps, you need to take in order to move forward, will help in future relationships.


Relationships 
Perhaps you are looking for clarity as to how to make things better or be able to reconnect more as a couple. Counselling can provide tools and support to help you rediscover yourself and each other.
​

Common areas of work include: communication, trust, intimacy, boundary setting and responsibility sharing.
