Transitions and Letting Go Counselling

Embrace Life’s Changes and Move Forward with Purpose

Life transitions—whether planned or unexpected—can bring uncertainty, fear, and difficulty letting go of the past. At InnerSight Psychotherapy, we help you navigate these challenges, process emotions, and embrace new opportunities with resilience and confidence.

The Problem

Transitions, even positive ones, often come with emotional and mental strain. Common challenges include:

Feeling overwhelmed or stuck when facing life changes.
Struggling to let go of past roles, relationships, or identities.
Experiencing grief, fear, or self-doubt about the future.
Navigating uncertainty during job changes, moves, divorce, retirement, or empty-nest syndrome.
Difficulty adjusting to new responsibilities or stages of life.

Unresolved feelings around transitions can lead to anxiety, depression, or feelings of being lost and disconnected.

The Solution

Psychotherapy helps you to process emotions, find clarity, and build the skills needed to adapt to change. We use evidence-based approaches to help you:

Understand Your Emotions: Explore the grief, fear, or resistance you may feel about letting go.
Reframe Your Perspective: See transitions as opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
Develop Coping Strategies: Learn tools to manage uncertainty and adapt to new circumstances.
Find Closure: Honour what you’re leaving behind while embracing your next chapter.
Build Resilience: Strengthen your ability to handle future changes with confidence.

Our treatment plans integrate different psychotherapy modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Polyvagal Theory-informed approaches, addressing the emotional, mental, and physical aspects of change.

Transitions and Letting Go FAQ

Why Are Transitions So Difficult?

Transitions often require letting go of familiar roles, routines, or identities, which can feel unsettling. Change also activates your nervous system, making you feel stressed or disconnected. Therapy helps you process these emotions and find stability.

Can Therapy Help with Grieving Life Transitions?

Yes, therapy provides a supportive space to explore feelings of loss, grief, and resistance during transitions. Techniques like CBT and mindfulness help you process these emotions while building a sense of hope and renewal.

What Is the Role of Polyvagal Theory in Transition Therapy?

Polyvagal Theory explains how your nervous system reacts to stress and change. Therapy helps you shift from states of anxiety or shutdown to a state of calm, safety, and confidence, enabling you to adapt to transitions effectively.

How Long Does Therapy Take?

The timeline varies based on your needs and goals. Many clients notice improvements in their ability to cope within 6–12 sessions, though longer-term support may be helpful for complex transitions.

Is Therapy Confidential?

Yes, all therapy sessions at InnerSight Psychotherapy are confidential, ensuring a safe and private environment to explore your challenges.
