Life Transition Counselling

Adapting to life transitions such as moves, job changes, illness and loss can be stressful and difficult.

We help you learn how to stand up to these challenges by building on past strengths and personal resources.

We assist you with linking and connecting with helpful resources, broaden your support network and navigate the system.

We provide education and information related to the issues you are facing and create greater understanding which enhances coping and living effectively with the challenges that you are dealing with.

A Future Oriented Approach to Counselling

We encourage self-reflective thinking, helping the person to process the emotional barriers to information processing and achieving preferred goals. We help clients move in their preferred direction and enable them to shift their views of themselves and their situations in a more positive frame. Our main premise is, "if it's not working, do something different".

  • We acknowledge and validate feelings, thoughts and actions.
  • We build on competencies and move away from pathology.
  • Our focus is future oriented. We help people to have a different relationship with their conditions or situations and promote caring as opposed to curing.

"Engage in a helpful conversation."
