Life Transitions
Sam Duran
Counsellor/Therapist, MAMFT, RCC, EMDR-Trained
Significant life changes can bring uncertainty, stress, and difficult decisions, even when the change itself is expected. Changes involving marriage, family, career, relocation, immigration, loss, or other major circumstances can affect your sense of stability and direction. Counselling can help you work through these challenges, clarify what matters to you, and approach the next chapter of life with greater confidence and purpose.

Life Transitions
Shemina Jeraj
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Life is ever changing and we will all pass through different phases in our lives. Sometimes these phases are planned and sometimes we are thrown into a phase by circumstances. These transitions can be challenging like sailing through choppy waters. Therapy can help provide an unbiased view of these situations and offer a place of calm during a storm. It can also offer tools to help navigate the situation in a best possible manner.

Meredith Bailey - Redefining Relationships
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, MACP, RP
Life transitions are a focus of my work, rather than a designated specialty. From becoming a parent to changing careers or relationships, I support clients making sense of change, uncertainty, and shifts in identity.

Eleine Gordon Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Master's Degree in Counselling Psychology MC, RCC and CCC
I like to help individuals and families maintain or develop healthy lifestyles and coping skills as they are going through life transitions. You might find you are struggling with stress, depression, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, inability to make decisions, trauma resurfacing, relationship issues, identity issues, and anger. Life transition where people may want that extra support can include: Empty nesters, students who are finding the transition into and out of college/university challenging, people who are changing careers, women finding menopause challenging, becoming a caregiver to a parent, those who are entering retirement or are already in retirement and struggling, and families and individuals facing end of life challenges.

Life Transitions
Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can feel unsettling, even when they’re positive. You might be navigating a career change, relationship change, move, loss, or a new stage of life, and finding yourself feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your sense of direction. Transitions often bring up deeper questions about identity, purpose, and where you fit, which can feel difficult to sort through on your own.
In our work together, we’ll create space to slow down and process what this transition means for you. Rather than rushing to find answers, we’ll explore the emotions, patterns, and underlying experiences that may be surfacing during this time. Using a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, we’ll support both your emotional world and nervous system, helping you feel more grounded, clear, and connected to yourself as you move forward.
I draw from approaches such as ACT, IFS, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Together, we’ll build practical tools to navigate uncertainty while also supporting deeper reflection, self-trust, and meaningful change.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
