Life Transitions Counselling (Online Across Australia)
A supportive space for navigating change, uncertainty, and new beginnings — in English or Italian.
Life transitions can be exciting, overwhelming, disorienting, or all of these at once. Whether the change was planned or unexpected, transitions often bring up emotions like anxiety, confusion, sadness, fear, or a sense of being “in between.” Counselling provides a compassionate, structured, and grounding space to process your experience and move through this chapter with clarity and confidence.
As a bilingual counsellor (English–Italian), I support adults across Australia who are adjusting to significant life changes — helping them reconnect with themselves, identify new paths, and feel emotionally supported during transition.
Common Life Transitions That Bring People to Counselling
Life transitions can be joyful, painful, uncertain, or deeply transformative. You may be seeking support for:
Personal life transitions
relationship changes or breakups
marriage, separation, or divorce
becoming a parent
grief, loss, or major emotional shifts
identity changes or self-discovery
navigating ageing or health changes
Professional transitions
career change or job loss
workplace stress or burnout
returning to work after leave
uncertainty about future direction
Family and relational transitions
changes in family roles or dynamics
caring for ageing parents
blended families
shifting responsibilities or expectations
Cultural and relocation transitions
migration or moving interstate
adjusting to a new culture, language, or environment
feeling disconnected, homesick, or “between two worlds”
You don’t have to navigate these changes alone. Life transition counselling offers space to explore what this moment means for you and what you want moving forward.
How Life Transitions Counselling Can Help
Counselling can help you:
understand your emotions during transition
reduce anxiety, stress, or overwhelm
navigate uncertainty with more clarity
explore identity, values, and what matters most
adjust to new roles, responsibilities, or environments
learn practical tools for coping with change
build confidence in decision-making
reconnect with strengths and resilience
create a sense of stability during instability
Transitions can feel chaotic, but they are also opportunities for growth. With the right support, this chapter can become a meaningful turning point.
My Approach to Life Transitions Counselling
My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empathy. Life transitions often bring up mixed emotions — excitement, grief, doubt, relief, confusion — and all of these feelings deserve space.
I draw from evidence-informed approaches such as:
Emotion-focused therapy
Supporting you to process the complex emotions that arise during change.
Cognitive and behavioural strategies
Helping you manage unhelpful thoughts, fear, or uncertainty.
Strength-based and narrative approaches
Exploring your story, values, and identity during transition.
Attachment-informed perspectives
Understanding how relationships and past experiences influence your transition.
Mindfulness and grounding practices
Creating calm, clarity, and presence during instability.
Trauma-informed principles
Pacing the work gently and safely, especially if transitions were unexpected or painful.
Our work together helps you feel supported and steady as you move through unfamiliar territory.
Culturally Aware Support — in English or Italian
Life transitions can feel even more complex when layered with cultural expectations, family roles, migration, or identity shifts.
As a bilingual counsellor familiar with both Italian and Australian cultures, I support clients navigating:
adjusting to life in a new country
balancing cultural identity and belonging
changes in family structure or roles
pressure from cultural expectations
communication challenges across cultures
You are welcome to speak in English, Italian, or switch naturally between both — whichever feels most authentic during your transition.
