Life Transitions and ‘Is This It?’
Life hasn’t turned out the way you imagined.
You might be approaching a milestone birthday or entering a significant life phase — like your late twenties, early thirties, midlife, or menopause — and feeling at a crossroads. Perhaps you haven’t reached where you thought you’d be by now, whether in your career, relationships, or hopes for a family. Maybe you never even knew exactly what you wanted, but the absence of direction or fulfilment feels heavy.
There may be a quiet ache — disappointment, resentment, even bitterness. A sense of urgency to change things, but feeling stuck in the “how.”
Common experiences include:
Wanting children, but facing challenges or feeling the clock ticking
Navigating perimenopause or menopause with unexpected emotional intensity
A career that feels unfulfilling despite years of investment
Feeling behind compared to peers — or uncertain about what you’re even aiming for
Relationships that lack depth, nourishment, or satisfaction
A lingering sense of being lost or not belonging
A blended family that isn’t the happy ideal you envisioned
Pressures and expectations — whether internal or external — that haven’t materialised
A growing question of identity: Who am I now, really?
These questions can arise at any stage of life — in the turbulence of your late twenties, the unravelling of your thirties, or the threshold of midlife.
Whenever they arrive, therapy offers space to acknowledge and process the emotions underneath — grief, anger, disappointment — so they don’t remain buried or keep you stuck.
Together, we can reflect on your story so far, explore meaning and identity, and uncover new possibilities for how you want to live from here.
If you’re standing at a crossroads —
uncertain, aching, or quietly questioning the shape of your life —
you’re not alone.
Therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, and gently reimagine what comes next.
If that feels like something you’re ready for, we can begin with a first session.
