Life Changes: When You’re Stuck in the In-Between

Change is a constant in life, but that doesn’t make it easy.

Whether it’s a change you’ve chosen—like leaving a job, starting a family, or moving—or one you didn’t ask for—such as a breakup, loss, illness, or redundancy—transition can feel deeply unsettling. Often, we’re left in a strange middle space: no longer where we were, not yet where we want to be.

This “in-between” phase can be confusing and lonely. Old routines fall away, your sense of self might feel shaky, and the path forward isn’t always clear. You might find yourself asking: Who am I now? What’s next? Why do I feel so stuck?

These are big questions—and you don’t have to navigate them alone.

Therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and process what’s changing in your world. Whether you’re going through a life stage shift (like midlife, becoming a parent, or retirement), a relationship change, or simply feel like the person you used to be doesn’t fit anymore, counselling can help you:

• Make sense of how you’re feeling

• Find clarity and self-compassion in uncertain times

• Reconnect with your values and strengths

• Begin to imagine—and step into—what’s next

Change can be unsettling, but it also holds the potential for growth. Therapy is not about “fixing” you—it’s about supporting you as you find your way through.

If you're feeling stuck, suspended between the old and the unknown, you’re not alone. This could be the perfect moment to reach out.
