Counselling and psychotherapy services
Encountering Midlife offers counselling and psychotherapy for adults navigating the emotional, relational and personal changes that often arise in the middle years.
Sessions provide a confidential space to explore your experiences, make sense of what you are feeling and begin moving towards greater clarity and self-understanding.
Individual Counselling
Individual counselling offers a supportive space to talk through what is happening in your life and within yourself. You may be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, disconnected, anxious, sad, angry or simply aware that something needs to change.
Together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings, relationships, patterns and choices with care and curiosity.

Grief, Loss &
Adjustment
Grief in midlife is not always about death. It can include the loss of a relationship, a role, a dream, a version of yourself, a sense of certainty, or the life you thought you would have.
Counselling can help you process loss with compassion and begin to find steadiness again.
Relationship & Family Change
The middle years can place pressure on relationships. You may be navigating marriage changes, separation, parenting teenagers, caring responsibilities, family conflict or the need for stronger boundaries.
Therapy can support you to understand your needs, communicate more clearly and make thoughtful choices.
