Life Transitions
Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect. Whether you're navigating a separation or divorce, moving to a new community, entering a different stage of life, becoming a parent, or adjusting to changing family relationships, major transitions can leave you feeling uncertain about who you are and what comes next. Even positive changes can bring unexpected feelings of anxiety, sadness, confusion, or loss.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, affordable counselling to help adolescents and adults navigate life's transitions with greater confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience. My experience in community mental health, family support, and counselling has taught me that change often involves more than adjusting to new circumstances. It can also mean redefining our identity, reassessing our priorities, and discovering what truly matters to us.
My approach combines person-centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed principles to help you process difficult emotions, explore uncertainty, and develop practical strategies for adapting to change. Together, we can identify your strengths, strengthen your coping skills, and create meaningful goals that reflect the person you're becoming.
I also recognize that cultural expectations, family responsibilities, and personal values can make life transitions particularly complex. Whether you're navigating intergenerational differences, adjusting to a new cultural environment, or balancing your own aspirations with the needs of others, my culturally responsive approach provides space to explore these challenges without judgment.
You don't need to have your future figured out before taking the next step. Sometimes, the most meaningful growth begins with giving yourself permission to explore new possibilities.
I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to support you through life's changes as you build greater self-understanding, confidence, and hope for the future.

Life Transitions
Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
Life transitions, whether welcome or unwanted, have a way of arriving with a sense of velocity that can feel disorienting, anxiety-inducing, and isolating, and at Nightingale Counselling we specialize in meeting clients exactly where they are and helping them move forward with clarity and confidence. Our therapists draw from a range of evidence-based modalities including cognitive behavioural therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and narrative therapy, tailoring the approach to the specific nature of the transition each client is navigating. Perhaps most importantly, counselling offers something that life transitions rarely allow for on their own: the chance to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your values and strengths before taking your next steps forward.

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.

Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCS
Navigating big changes in your personal or professional life can be overwhelming. Counselling for such changes in life gives you a safe space to process stress, cope with the unknown, rediscover who you are, and build practical tools for your next chapter. Whether it's a job change/loss, marriage/divorce, grief/loss or aging, it can be beneficial to seek help and support.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Whether you are navigating divorce, heartbreak, career uncertainty, parenting challenges, a spiritual awakening, identity shifts, dark nights of the soul, or a season of deep personal transformation, support can help you move through change with more steadiness. I work somatically, trauma-informed, and with attention to the nervous system and energy field, honoring what your body and heart are holding so we can gently address healing from the root. My focus is compassionate, root-cause healing that helps you reconnect with inner safety, clarity, and trust as you move forward. If you are feeling caught in the in-between, sensing that something needs to change, or moving through fear and uncertainty in the unknown, I would love to support you.

Abby Tait
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Change, even when it’s chosen, can be disorienting. A move, a career shift, the end of a relationship, becoming a parent, or a loss can unsettle the way you see your life, your relationships, and yourself. From the outside, things might look the same, but internally, something has shifted. I work with adults navigating these in-between seasons who want to move beyond survival mode and feel more grounded in who they are becoming. Drawing on attachment and psychodynamic-informed approaches alongside Compassion-Focused Therapy, ACT, and DBT, we’ll make space for what’s ending, get curious about what matters to you now, and find a direction that feels like your own.

Linda Szeto
Therapist, RCC, CCC
Life transitions can bring uncertainty, grief, and a mix of emotions that are difficult to make sense of. Whether you're navigating a change in relationships, health, work, or your sense of who you are, you may find yourself struggling with what you've lost, what comes next, or how to move forward. My approach draws on EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and somatic approaches to help you work through difficult emotions and experiences, make space for what is changing, and find a way forward that feels more grounded.
