Developing healthy coping strategies is essential during life transitions. These may include practising mindfulness, maintaining support systems, establishing new routines, and working with a therapist. Regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and proper nutrition also play important roles in stress management during periods of change.

Several therapeutic approaches are effective for navigating life transitions, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions. At Clear Moon Therapy, I tailor my approach to your specific situation, often incorporating elements of identity work, grief processing, and anxiety reduction techniques.

Life transitions therapy focuses on helping individuals adjust to major changes by processing associated emotions, developing new coping strategies, rebuilding identity, and finding meaning in the transition. This specialized counselling addresses both practical adjustment challenges and deeper emotional responses to change.

Even positive changes like promotions, marriages, or having children can trigger stress and adjustment difficulties. This is completely normal. Any significant change requires adaptation and can challenge your identity or create unexpected emotional responses. Therapy provides a safe space to work through these complex feelings without judgement.
