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.

Life Transitions
Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
There's a particular kind of disorientation that comes with major change, even change you chose or wanted. When the structure you were living inside shifts, it can leave you asking who you are without it, and what you actually want now. I work with people in that in-between space, helping them get oriented and find a direction that genuinely fits, not just the next thing that looks right from the outside.

Sanofer Ansari

Approach: Person-centred, emotion-focused and CBT-informed therapy.
Transitions can bring uncertainty even when they are positive. I help clients process change, identify emotions and values, manage stress, and develop a sense of direction during periods of adjustment.

Life Transitions
Colin Hayward
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd
It is such a big term - life transitions. Really it could cover almost anything. Some are obvious: relationship changes, divorce, changing careers, retirement. Still others are more subtle and come with warning: changes in health or having to move cities for work or personal reasons. What joins them all is a sense of change - I life used to look like this and now it is different. I help you take stock of what your life looked like, what you want to take with you into the new phase, and what you want to let go of because it really wasn't serving you well.
