Pamela Mekuz
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Q)
Life transitions can bring a complicated mix of emotions, even when the changes are ones we've chosen or looked forward to. Whether you're navigating a shift in your relationships, career, family life, or sense of identity, you may find yourself feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or unsure of where you fit. I offer a supportive space to explore both the challenges and opportunities that come with change, including the feelings of loss that can sometimes accompany new beginnings. Together, we can make sense of what you're experiencing, reconnect with what matters most to you, and find a way forward that feels authentic and meaningful.

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.

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.

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.

Life Transitions
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Life transitions—even the positive ones—can pull us out of our comfort zone and trigger 'parts' of us that feel anxious, overwhelmed, or lost. Drawing on over 15 years of experience guiding individuals through major life shifts, I understand that change often ripples into our deepest insecurities.
Whether you are navigating a career move, a relocation, or a shift in your family dynamic, I provide a stabilizing space to help you find your footing. We work together to understand the 'survival strategies' that emerge during times of uncertainty, helping you move through the transition with clarity and a strengthened sense of self-worth. My goal is to help you transform a time of upheaval into an opportunity for genuine personal growth.

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.

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.

Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
Life transitions can bring a mix of possibility, uncertainty, grief, and self-doubt. Whether you’re navigating a change in relationship, work, identity, health, family, or direction, you may find that old ways of coping no longer fit while the next chapter still feels unclear. I offer a supportive space to slow down, make sense of what is changing, and reconnect with what matters most to you. Using mindfulness, relational awareness, and a compassionate exploration of your patterns, we can help you move through transition with greater clarity, self-trust, and intention.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Moving through major life transitions—whether expected or sudden—frequently disrupts your sense of identity and leaves your nervous system feeling highly untethered. In my Vancouver-based online therapy practice, I use creative and psychodynamic exploration to hold space for the discomfort of the unknown. I will walk alongside you through the ambiguity of change, helping you ground into your shifting reality with patience and self-compassion.

Life Transitions
Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness |
Counsellor/Therapist, Integrative Holistic Coach and Practitioner | Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner |
Sometimes change is chosen. Sometimes life chooses it for us. Relationships shift, children leave home, careers change, bodies change, identities evolve, losses occur, and suddenly the life that once made sense no longer fits in quite the same way. Transitions can bring uncertainty and grief alongside possibility. I support clients in slowing down, listening inwardly, and reconnecting with what matters now so the next chapter isn't simply a reaction to what has ended, but an opportunity to move forward with greater clarity, intention, and connection to yourself.

Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Transitions can unsettle the identities, relationships, and ways of living that once made sense. Even a change we have chosen can bring uncertainty, grief, or disorientation. Therapy can offer space to listen more closely to what is ending, what is emerging, and how you want to meet the life that is taking shape.

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.

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.
