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 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.

Big changes, whether in your career, relationships, or living situation, can bring unexpected stress. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, therapy offers a supportive space to pause, process, and be heard. Therapy can be a dedicated space to slow down, vent, and reflect when life feels noisy. Together, we’ll move at your pace and explore your experiences with genuine compassion and zero judgment.

Victoria Jade Karra
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, CTP, CSTS
Life transitions can bring uncertainty, grief, overwhelm, identity shifts, and emotional discomfort — even when the change itself is wanted. Experiences such as relationship changes, parenthood, career shifts, illness, caregiving, loss, aging, or changes in identity and direction can challenge your sense of stability and self. Therapy can become a supportive space to process these transitions, deepen self-understanding, and reconnect with your values, strengths, and sense of direction as you move through change with greater clarity, self-compassion, and support.
