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.
