Life Transitions - Thresholds of Change, Identity, and Meaning

Standing at Life’s Crossroads

There are times in life when the ground shifts beneath us — when who we were no longer quite fits, and who we are becoming is still uncertain. These transitional spaces can feel exhilarating, frightening, confusing, or quietly urgent. They ask something new of us. And they invite us to meet ourselves more honestly.

I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals at these pivotal crossroads — the moments that shape the arc of a life.

From Adolescence to Adulthood: Finding Your Own Path

In early adulthood, transitions often revolve around stepping into a fuller sense of identity. Moving from adolescence into adulthood — leaving school, entering university or the workforce — brings profound questions: Who am I apart from expectations? How do I orient toward an authentic life rather than a prescribed one?

These tender, formative years can carry a tension between freedom and fear. I offer a steady, relational space for young adults to explore emerging identities, hopes, and uncertainties, grounding themselves in self-trust and self-compassion.

The Midlife Turning: Authenticity Over Achievement

In midlife, the questions often change — but the need for a safe, reflective space remains. Many individuals reach a point where the energies that propelled the first half of life — achievement, ambition, outward growth — begin to soften or no longer satisfy.

Midlife invites a reversal: a movement inward, toward values, authenticity, and meaning. It can be a time of disillusionment, grief, or quiet revolution. I work with clients to navigate this sacred turning, helping them reconnect with purpose, integrity, and a deeper acceptance of life’s paradoxes.

Later Life and Endings: Facing Mortality with Courage

In later life, as we approach the final chapters, the landscape shifts again. Working with individuals in their seventies and beyond is a profound privilege. The questions become deeply existential: How do I prepare for the end of life? How do I make peace with groundlessness, mortality, and the life I’ve lived?

There can be grief — for what has been lost, for what was never realized — and yet also an extraordinary opportunity for tenderness, completion, and relational healing. I support clients in navigating these rich final transitions with presence, honesty, and great care — tending to the needs of the soul as much as the mind.

A Relationship for the Journey

Across all these seasons of change, my work is grounded in a person-centred and trauma-informed way of being. I don’t offer quick fixes or formulas. Instead, I offer a relationship — one rooted in curiosity, steadiness, and deep listening — where together we can explore what is unfolding within you, at your pace, and in your language.

If you are standing at the edge of something new — whether anticipated or unexpected — you don’t have to navigate it alone. Life’s transitions are not problems to solve, but thresholds to cross. And it would be an honour to walk alongside you as you do.
