Life Transitions and Mid-Life Changes Counselling in Lincoln and Online UK
​
Support Through Change, Uncertainty and Life Transitions
​
Life does not always follow a clear or predictable path. Times of change — whether expected or unexpected — can bring uncertainty, emotional upheaval, and a sense of feeling lost or unsettled. You may be questioning your identity, direction, relationships, or sense of purpose.
​
I offer life transitions and mid-life counselling in Lincoln and online therapy across the UK for teenagers and adults, providing a supportive, reflective space to explore change, make sense of your experiences, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
​
What Are Life Transitions and Mid-Life Changes?
Life transitions are periods of significant change that can affect how you see yourself and your future. These changes can occur at any stage of life and may be positive, challenging, or a mixture of both.
​
Common life transitions include:
​
-
Career changes or job dissatisfaction
-
Mid-life reflection or feeling stuck
-
Changes in identity or sense of purpose
-
Relationship changes, separation, or divorce
-
Becoming a parent or changes in family roles
-
Children leaving home
-
Health changes or ageing
-
Adjusting to loss or major life events
​​
Common Signs You May Be Struggling with Change
​
Life transitions can impact people emotionally, mentally, and physically. You may notice:
​
Emotional and psychological signs:
-
Feeling unsettled, anxious, or low in mood
-
Loss of confidence or direction
-
Feeling disconnected from yourself or others
-
Overthinking or difficulty making decisions
​​
Behavioural signs:
-
Avoidance of change or feeling stuck
-
Withdrawal from relationships or activities
-
Restlessness or dissatisfaction with life
-
Difficulty committing to next steps
​​
Internal experiences:
-
Questioning your identity or purpose
-
Feeling pressure to have life “figured out”
-
Comparing yourself to others or past versions of yourself
​​
The Impact of Life Transitions and Mid-Life Changes
​
Periods of change can affect many areas of life:
​
-
Emotional wellbeing and self-esteem
-
Relationships and communication
-
Work, career, or academic direction
-
Motivation, confidence, and decision-making
-
Sense of meaning and fulfilment
​​
For teenagers, transitions such as exams, leaving school, or identity development can feel overwhelming. For adults, mid-life changes may bring reflection, grief, or a desire for change that feels both exciting and frightening.
​
How Counselling Can Help During Life Transitions
​
Counselling offers a space to pause, reflect, and explore what change means for you. I work collaboratively and at your pace, supporting you to understand your experiences and move forward in a way that feels right.
​
Counselling for life transitions may include:
​
-
Exploring identity, values, and priorities
-
Processing emotions linked to change or loss
-
Building confidence and self-trust
-
Supporting decision-making and clarity
-
Developing resilience and emotional regulation
-
Making sense of past experiences and future hopes
​​
I work integratively, drawing on person-centred counselling, psychotherapy, CBT, DBT, and creative approaches where helpful.
​
Life Transitions Counselling for Teenagers and Adults
​
I support teenagers navigating educational changes, identity development, and growing independence, as well as adults experiencing mid-life reflection, career changes, relationship shifts, changes in family dynamics or questions about meaning and direction.
Sessions offer a confidential, non-judgemental space to talk openly and gain insight into what you need at this stage of life.
