Life Transitions Counselling
The hardest part of a transition is usually not the new thing. It is the gap between the old identity and the next one.
My approach to this work
Transitions are where existential and humanist work earns its place. The practical questions matter, but underneath them is usually a question about meaning and identity. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, so choices come from what you actually care about rather than from momentum or other people's expectations, and Solution Focused work when you need to move rather than reflect.
My approach to this work
What to expect in sessions
Sixty minute sessions, in person or online. Transition work is often shorter than other counselling, sometimes four to eight sessions around a decision point.
Getting started
What to expect
- 01
A free 15 minute consultation
A short call to hear what is going on, answer your questions, and see whether we are a good fit. No pressure either way.
- 02
Your first session
Sixty minutes to lay out the situation in your own words. We get clear on what matters most and what you want to be different.
- 03
Ongoing work at your pace
We settle into a rhythm that suits you, weekly or spaced out, in person on the Sunshine Coast or by secure video anywhere in BC.
If any of this sounds like where you are right now, the next step is a free 15 minute consultation. No pressure, no commitment, just a conversation.
