Therapy for Life Transitions in London | When who you were no longer fits who you're becoming

Some of the hardest moments in life arrive not as a single crisis, but as a slow, disorienting shift. The person you were before -- before the diagnosis, before the loss, before the relationship ended, before motherhood changed everything -- no longer quite fits. And the person you're becoming hasn't taken shape yet.

Life transitions can leave you feeling untethered even when, from the outside, things look fine. You might be navigating the end of a relationship or the slow unravelling of a marriage. You might be reckoning with a career that no longer feels meaningful, or an identity that has quietly outgrown your circumstances. You might be in the middle of something that has no clear name, only the feeling that something has fundamentally shifted, and you're not sure how to find your footing.

For many of the women I work with, these transitions sit alongside or follow the experiences I specialise in (fertility treatment, pregnancy, early parenthood, loss) but they don't have to. Therapy is a space to make sense of whatever you're carrying, and to move through it with more steadiness and clarity than you'd find alone.

What we work on:

The grief and disorientation that can follow fertility treatment, pregnancy loss, or a birth that didn't go as expected
Relationship strain, including the slow drift or sudden rupture that can follow a major life change
The end of a marriage or long-term relationship, and who you are on the other side of it
A career that no longer feels like yours, or an identity that has outgrown your current life
The loss of a previous version of yourself, the one who existed before things changed
Anxiety, people-pleasing, and the pressure to hold everything together
Learning to trust yourself again after a period of being pulled in every direction
Finding out who you are and what you want, separate from what others need from you

How therapy helps:

Transitions, even wanted ones, involve loss. Something ends before the next thing begins. Therapy gives that in-between space somewhere to exist — not to be fixed or fast-forwarded, but to be understood. Together we'll look at what this transition is asking of you, what it's bringing up from the past, and what kind of person you want to be on the other side of it. My approach is relational and psychodynamically informed, which means we pay attention not just to what you think but to what you feel, and to the patterns that may be shaping your experience without you fully realising it.

My approach: My approach is integrative, drawing on relational, person-centred, psychodynamic, and mindfulness traditions — adapted to what you need, not a fixed formula.

Session format: Sessions are 50 minutes, weekly, in person in Notting Hill, West London or online across the UK.
