Life changes I can help you navigate

Grief, Loss and Bereavement,
(Including Pet Loss)

Loss touches every part of life. Whether you’re grieving the death of a loved one, mourning the end of a relationship or friendship, adjusting to job loss or retirement, or coping with illness and change, grief can feel overwhelming. You may feel lost, numb, angry, or unsure how to move forward.

As a compassionate psychotherapist experienced in grief and bereavement counselling, I offer a calm, understanding space to help you make sense of what you’re feeling. Grief is not something to “get over” — it’s something we learn to live with, one breath and one conversation at a time.

In our work together, we can:

  • Explore and understand your unique experience of loss

  • Find gentle ways to express pain, love, and remembrance

  • Reconnect with a sense of meaning and purpose

  • Support you in adjusting to life after change or loss

  • Honour the bond you shared — whether with a person, a pet, or a chapter of life that’s ended

​​

You don’t have to face this alone.

Menopause, Andropause, and Midlife Transitions

Midlife can bring a mix of reflection, uncertainty, and change. You may be noticing shifts in energy, mood, or relationships — or struggling with the physical and emotional changes that come with menopause, andropause, or aging.

 

Perhaps you’re feeling more anxious or withdrawn, questioning your identity, or wondering how to reconnect with yourself and others. These transitions are a natural part of life, but they can also feel deeply unsettling.

 

As a psychotherapist experienced in menopause counselling, andropause therapy, and midlife transitions, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore these experiences with compassion and understanding. Together, we can make sense of what’s changing — physically, emotionally, and relationally — so you can move forward feeling more balanced and confident.

 

In our work together, we might:

 

  • Explore emotional changes in menopause or andropause, including anxiety, irritability, or mood swings

  • Address midlife anxiety and the impact of hormonal changes on self-esteem and relationships

  • Reconnect with your body and navigate therapy for aging, identity, and shifting life roles

  • Strengthen communication and intimacy with partners during this season of change

  • Support men’s hormonal health and emotional wellbeing through andropause therapy and lifestyle awareness.

 

Midlife doesn’t have to be a crisis — it can be an awakening. With the right support, you can rediscover clarity, purpose, and self-acceptance. Therapy can help you feel grounded in who you are now, while creating space for what’s next.

 

If you’re seeking midlife counselling or simply want to feel more supported as you navigate this chapter, I invite you to reach out. Let’s begin the conversation — one that helps you feel seen, understood, and ready to embrace the next stage of your life.
