Life Transitions
Yuka Oshimi
Counsellor/Therapist, MC, RCC, RCC-ACS (c), DCP(c), ADHD-CCSP
Life transitions can bring uncertainty, grief, identity shifts, and self-doubt, even when the change is positive or chosen. Having experienced many transitions myself, including moving across countries and continents, navigating cultural change, and shifting through different life and work roles, I understand how disorienting change can feel. I support adults navigating career changes, school stress, relocation, diagnosis, relationship changes, burnout, and new stages of life with clarity, compassion, and cultural sensitivity.

Life Transitions
Rawda Tomoum
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, CGT
Life transitions can include changes in relationships, family roles, work, identity, health, culture, immigration, parenting, separation, loss, or simply realizing that the life you have no longer fits who you are becoming. Even positive changes can bring uncertainty, grief, pressure, or a loss of direction. I can help you make sense of what you are experiencing, adjust to what has changed, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

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.

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.

Life Transitions
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.

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.

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.

Surrey is one of Metro Vancouver's most populous and rapidly growing cities, with a large and diverse immigrant population — particularly from South Asia, the Philippines, and East Africa — creating strong demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists who understand the pressures of settlement, family expectations, and bicultural identity. The city faces significant challenges around substance use, gang-related trauma, and concentrated poverty in some neighbourhoods, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery and community mental health serve an important role. Surrey Memorial Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, with a growing private therapy community reflecting the city's expanding population. Many Surrey residents access care through the wider Metro Vancouver ecosystem via transit and telehealth.
