Big life events and transitions can cause disruption, high emotions and feelings that can be hard to manage. Life transitions like divorce, retirement, bereavement, a new career, becoming a parent or moving home can all be very stressful.
But you don’t have to face your feelings alone. Online therapy for life transitions can help you get the support you need.

We all go through various transitions in life, and while some like getting married, having children, or changing careers can be positive, others like divorce, bereavement or even retirement can bring up negative feelings that are hard to manage.
For life transitions like bereavement, divorce or retirement, some people can feel lost and isolated, sometimes without purpose, or mourn the loss of their previous life. Other times, they may feel overwhelmed or experience the symptoms of stress. Similarly, life transitions can trigger other mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression or low self-esteem.
Physical impacts can also be felt. Some people report changes to eating or sleeping patterns, lethargy and exhaustion, or even headaches and tension.
Regardless of your stage in life and the feelings you’re experiencing, online therapy for life transitions can help you understand your emotions and take control of your future.
Online life transition therapy can offer a safe, understanding and discreet space to talk openly about what you're going through. Working with a trained and qualified therapist can help you make sense of your emotions and develop coping strategies to manage your feelings in the future.
Your chosen therapist may use a blend of approaches based on your needs and situation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is effective for a range of issues, and can be helpful if you're feeling overwhelmed or trapped. It can help you identify unhelpful thought patterns and build healthier ways of behaving. On the other hand, talking therapy gives you a safe space to explore your feelings and reflect on the changes you're experiencing, at your own pace.
You may also find that Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) is useful in accepting your emotions and making promises to yourself that you’ll act according to your values. These can include forgiveness, understanding and empathy, and can help keep you grounded in the moment. Like CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) can be effective in helping you analyse your problems and focus on specific ways to solve them.
There’s no one-size-fits-all when dealing with life transitions, and everybody is different. But reaching out for the help you deserve is the first step to moving on.

Book your first session today to start your journey.
Book NowNo. Everybody is different, and we all handle life transitions in our own way. What might seem small to one person can be all-consuming to someone else. The only thing that matters is that you think you need support because the change is impacting your wellbeing.
It could be something like divorce, retirement, moving home, changing careers, leaving education, or even coming to terms with your children moving out. If you need support for your feelings, we’re here to help.
There is no right time. Online therapy is here to help when you need it. Some people like to get ahead of the change and plan for support to get them through it. Other people may only realise they need help after the event. In either case, speaking to an understanding and trained therapist is an effective way to manage your emotions and feel better.
Depending on your therapist and the type of approach you both think is best, you may simply talk about your life transition and how it’s making you feel. You can be as open as you like, and you only have to share what you’re comfortable with. In other sessions, you may try structured therapy like CBT or SFT to develop coping strategies for the future.
We understand it can be hard to admit you need help and reach out to someone. But we think it’s a sign of strength that shows a willingness to get better. Our fully trained therapists understand how you feel and provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your feelings.
Sessions are 100% confidential, happen at a time and place that suits you, and you don’t even have to have your camera on if you don’t want to.
Online therapy is a proven and effective way to get support during your life transition. But it doesn’t work for everyone, and if you don’t feel the benefit, that’s ok. There are no membership fees or minimum session limits, so you can cancel whenever you want.
