Life Transitions
Kevin Martin
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, BACP, ITTA, EA
Life Transitions are major shifts or turning points that alter our roles, routines, relationships, or sense of identity. Whether planned (like moving, starting a career, or getting married) or unexpected (like job loss, loss of a loved one, or illness), navigating significant change requires adapting to a new baseline while processing the loss of the familiar.
Phases of Transition
The Ending: Acknowledging and letting go of the previous status quo, along with the roles or certainty associated with it.
The Neutral Zone: The uncomfortable middle ground where the old is gone, but the new isn't fully established yet—a space often marked by uncertainty, reflection, and adjustment.
The New Beginning: Embrace new routines, set updated goals, and integrate the experiences you've gained into a renewed sense of identity.
Key Strategies for Navigating Change
Acknowledge the Emotional Impact: Allow yourself to grieve what changed or ended, even when the transition is positive or self-chosen.
Focus on What You Can Control: Identify small, daily habits and routines you can maintain when surrounding circumstances feel chaotic.
Practice Self-Compassion: Resist the urge to have everything figured out immediately; adapting to new roles or environments takes time.
Build a Support Network: Lean on trusted friends, mentors, or counsellors to process the adjustment phase without isolating yourself.

Life Transitions
Karine Flynn
Psychologist, MSc, GMBPS
Major transitions - career change, loss, relationship endings, becoming a parent, relocating - often surface old material that had been successfully managed. The destabilisation of a transition can be an opening: a moment when the nervous system is already in flux and therefore more available for reorganisation. Focused somatic work during or after a significant transition can help you move through it, rather than around it.

Lakis Elezoglou
Counsellor/Therapist, Life Transitions & Feeling Stuck
I work with people experiencing life transitions, such as changes in career, relationships, identity, or personal direction. Life transitions can feel uncertain and unsettling, even when they are expected or positive changes, often leading to confusion, stress, or self-doubt.
In our work together, we explore what this transition means for you personally and how it is affecting your thoughts, emotions, and sense of direction. This process can help you gain clarity, process change at your own pace, and reconnect with your values and strengths.
My aim is to support you in navigating life transitions with greater confidence, self-understanding, and a clearer sense of where you want to go next.

Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA member, L2 IFS trained, Diploma of Counselling
My focus is on supporting men as they work through stress, anger, disconnection, and self-doubt. By encouraging honesty, vulnerability, and emotional clarity, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the challenges that show up in relationships, work, fatherhood, or identity. Counselling here isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about guiding you back into connection: with yourself, your core values, and the people who matter most, so you can move forward with greater clarity and purpose. I see counselling as a collaborative and creative process, shaped by the needs and direction of each person I work with. My role is to offer steady support while creating room for healing, growth, and meaningful change. Ultimately, my aim is to help you deepen your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.
