MORE ABOUT LIFE TRANSITIONS

Life Transitions

Support for Navigating Change, Loss, Growth, and Uncertainty

Change is part of life, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Whether you’re starting something new, letting go of something familiar, or caught in the in-between, transitions can stir up anxiety, grief, doubt, or a deep sense of disorientation.

At Four Wings Psychology, we offer therapy in Nepean and across Ontario for people navigating life transitions. Whether expected or sudden, joyful or painful, we provide a compassionate space to make sense of what’s changing and find clarity about what comes next.

What Is a Life Transition?

Life transitions can be internal or external, chosen or forced, exciting or deeply painful, and often all at once. They might include:

  • Moving cities, countries, or schools
  • Starting or ending a relationship
  • Becoming a parent, or navigating fertility or adoption
  • Coming out or exploring gender/sexual identity
  • Retiring, graduating, or changing careers
  • Facing a health diagnosis or change in ability
  • Losing a loved one or role that shaped your identity
  • Feeling “lost” or like a version of yourself no longer fits

Even positive changes can bring stress, grief, or a loss of direction. Therapy can help you slow down, reflect, and move through the transition with support.

How Therapy Can Help

Life transitions often surface hidden emotions, unresolved grief, or new questions about identity and direction. At Four Wings Psychology, our therapists can help you:

  • Process emotions like fear, sadness, relief, or guilt
  • Explore how the change affects your values, identity, and relationships
  • Cope with uncertainty or loss of control
  • Rebuild confidence and self-trust
  • Develop coping strategies and routines during times of upheaval
  • Reconnect with what matters most to you

We use supportive, integrative approaches like CBTACTNarrative Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy, always tailored to your needs and your pace.

This Therapy Is for You If You’re:

  • In the midst of major life changes, wanted or unwanted
  • Feeling overwhelmed by decisions or uncertainty
  • Struggling with a new identity or role
  • Feeling stuck between “what was” and “what’s next”
  • Longing for space to make meaning from change

You don’t need to have all the answers, just a desire to explore them with support.

Why Choose Four Wings Psychology?

  • Therapists experienced in transitions, identity, grief, and personal growth
  • Trauma-informed and affirming of diverse cultural, gender, and life experiences
  • Support for teens, adults, and parents
  • In-person therapy in Nepean and virtual counselling across Ontario

A gentle, non-directive space to reflect, process, and grow

You Don’t Have to Navigate Change Alone

Whether you’re closing a chapter, starting a new one, or stuck between both, therapy can help you move forward with clarity, strength, and self-compassion.
