The Reality

What Brings People to Life Transitions Counselling

Uncertainty After a Major Life Change

Career changes, relocation, retirement, and new parenthood disrupt routines, identity, and daily decision-making.

Carrying It Alone

Many people manage a difficult transition alone for months before recognizing it as something counselling can address.

Support for Chosen and Unchosen Change

Life transitions counselling addresses adjustment directly, whether the change was welcomed or imposed.

Counsellors at Counsel Me Vancouver see this pattern across many kinds of clients — the professional changing careers mid-life, the retiree adjusting to a new daily structure, the person relocating away from an existing support network, the new parent adjusting to caregiving demands. Each transition is different, and each course of life transitions counselling starts by understanding that person's specific change.

Why Counsel Me Vancouver

Master's-Level Clinicians. Evidence-Based Transition Support.

Every counsellor at Counsel Me Vancouver holds a Master's-level credential and is registered as either a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) through the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors or a Registered Social Worker (RSW) through the BC College of Social Workers. Life transitions counselling sessions apply Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, matched to each client's specific change. Sessions run 50 to 60 minutes, in person at The Electra in downtown Vancouver or virtually across BC. A free, no-pressure consultation lets clients determine fit before committing to ongoing sessions.
