We all face challenges at different stages of our life, whether it’s getting married, having a first child and starting a new role as a parent, dealing with transitions to new schools or jobs, making changes after a separation or divorce, adjusting to a different lifestyle after children leave home, or planning the next phase of life after retirement.
All these situations are normal in our lives and we can have mixed reactions of joy, stress, uncertainty and grief. Counselling can be helpful when life changes are creating too much stress, are impacting on other parts of your life, or when you’re feeling stuck and unable to adjust.
