Midlife transitioning commonly shows up as low mood, anxiety and loneliness alongside a general dissatisfaction with life. It can be beneficial to have a non-judgmental ally whilst you navigate your way gently back to self.
I understand that it can be difficult to put ourselves first, especially when we are not used to it! However, having time set aside for you to speak openly and be truly heard with empathy and compassion can be transformative. Entering a therapeutic relationship opens a space for reflection at your own pace without judgement. This can lead to insights which may help you understand how and why you lost touch with yourself.
We can work together to help you become kinder and more compassionate towards yourself whilst exploring what ‘you’ want from your life and moving towards it. Relinquishing coping mechanisms which are not serving your wellbeing and bringing balance back into your life. You can learn to embrace the wisdom, confidence and self-acceptance that this stage of your life can offer.
I have lived experience of midlife transitioning, in fact, the feelings of low mood, dissatisfaction, low self-worth and loneliness are what led me to embark upon my own counselling journey. Uncovering past traumas along the way and working through these assisted my own personal growth. I invite you to experience the unique relationship that counselling offers and walk with me as we navigate difficult and challenging emotional times and move toward aligning with your authentic self.
I have counselled adults transitioning through midlife in my role within the NHS. I have also worked with young adults covering a wide range of issues at Reaseheath College. I have volunteered for the past two years as a counsellor at Survive working with adult survivors of childhood abuse.
