Sense of Identity & Purpose Counselling
Who am I, now that I’m here?
​
Whether through life transitions, shifting roles, relationships, or inner change, it’s natural to question who we are and what truly matters. Sometimes, these questions arise slowly—other times, they hit like a wave. Either way, you don’t have to navigate them alone.
​
This is a safe and compassionate space to explore your evolving sense of self, identity, purpose, orientation, and direction in life.
when everything changes - or it's you that's changed
Change can be chosen—or arrive unexpectedly. It may come from:
-
Career shifts
-
Relationship transitions
-
Parenthood or childlessness
-
Menopause or ageing
-
Gender identity or orientation discovery
-
Loss, illness, or spiritual crisis
Even joyful change can shake your sense of self. And when change is unwelcome or uncertain, it may stir grief, anxiety, anger, or disconnection.
change & where you find yourself
You may be:
-
Re-evaluating your life direction or sense of purpose
-
Feeling disconnected from the person you used to be
-
Struggling with changing identity, orientation, or gender expression
-
Grieving a loss of roles, relationships, or long-held beliefs
-
Feeling like you’re “in between” — no longer who you were, not yet who you’ll be
These moments, while difficult, can also open the door to self-compassion, growth, and realignment.
my therapeutic approach:
I hold a woman-centred, trauma-informed space where curiosity, kindness, and embodiment meet.
My practice integrates:
-
Somatic psychotherapy — using gentle breath, body awareness, and mindful movement
-
Emotional boundary-setting & nervous system regulation
-
Tools to support change from a grounded, values-aligned place
​
This is about helping you feel more at home in yourself — emotionally, physically, spiritually.

It is especially supportive if you're:

-
Experiencing identity or orientation shifts
-
Feeling the impact of midlife or menopause on your sense of self
-
Supporting a loved one through their change while trying to understand your own reactions
-
Craving space to reflect, reconnect, and reorient
