Midlife can bring unexpected questions and unsettling emotions.
Who am I now? What matters next? Why do I feel unsettled when, from the outside, everything appears fine?
Encountering Midlife offers counselling and psychotherapy for people navigating the emotional, relational and personal transitions of the middle years. This is a space to pause, reflect and begin making sense of what was, what is now, and what might come next

Why Work With Kerrin?
You may be experiencing changes in your relationships, career, family role, body, identity or sense of purpose. Perhaps you feel restless, invisible, overwhelmed, grieving, or unsure of what you want anymore.
These feelings may be signs that something in you is asking to be heard. You may be experiencing midlife’s call to turn inward, reflect and re-evaluate.
1
Relationships are shifting
Marriage, separation, parenting teenagers, empty nest, caring for ageing parents, loneliness or changing friendships.
2
You feel stuck or restless
A sense that life is full, but not fulfilling. You may be collapsing into despair or be suffering anxiety that is becoming harder to ignore.
3
Grief and change are present
Loss of loved ones, identity, health, work and career, roles, dreams or certainty.
4
You are asking deeper questions
Who am I now? What do I want?
What is still possible?
Nice to meet you.
I am a counsellor and psychotherapist who works with people navigating the complexity of midlife.
My approach is thoughtful, compassionate and grounded in the belief that the middle years can be a powerful time for reflection, healing and renewal.
Taking the time to pause, reflect and re-set in midlife can set us up to live more authentically, and to build the inner strength, resilience and wisdom we will need in later stages of life.

“Wholly unprepared, we embark upon the second half of life…
But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the program of life’s morning; for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true at evening have become a lie”
Carl Jung
