What types of counselling do you use?
Counselling for Emerging Adults
Emerging adulthood (ages 18–25) can be one of the most challenging stages of life. Psychologist Jeffrey Arnett describes this period as a time of identity exploration, change, and uncertainty. Many young adults feel caught in between, no longer adolescents but not yet fully settled into adulthood. This stage often involves questioning who you are, what you want from life, and the kind of person you hope to become. The pace of change can feel fast, and it is normal to feel unsure, anxious, or even overwhelmed at times.
During these years, it’s common to experience instability, self-doubt, and mental health challenges. You may be navigating university, starting a career, moving out for the first time, or forming and maintaining relationships, all while trying to balance personal goals, friendships, and family expectations. It is also a time when you may encounter setbacks or make decisions that feel uncertain, which can heighten stress and self-reflection. Yet, emerging adulthood is not just about challenges. It can also be a period full of possibilities, learning, and growth, where you discover strengths, explore passions, and gain independence.
Counselling can give you the space to explore who you are, work through challenges, and feel more confident as you step into adulthood. It offers a supportive, non-judgmental space to talk about your experiences, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. Whether you are struggling with decisions about career, education, relationships, or your sense of self, counselling can help you navigate this transitional stage with clarity and confidence, helping you embrace opportunities for growth while managing uncertainty and stress.
Counselling for Adults
Adulthood brings its own unique challenges. Many adults are navigating long-term careers, managing job pressures, or balancing the demands of starting and raising a family. At the same time, relationships, personal goals, and self-care can easily be pushed to the background. Adults often carry responsibilities for others, including children, partners, and aging parents, while trying to maintain their own wellbeing. This can feel like a constant juggling act. The pressure to have it all together can leave many feeling stretched thin or uncertain about their next steps.
Stress at work, burnout, redundancy, and financial pressures are common experiences, and they can take a real toll on wellbeing. Deadlines, long hours, and workplace expectations can erode energy and motivation, while concerns about job security or career progression create ongoing mental strain. Financial worries, from mortgages to bills to saving for the future, add another layer of stress and can affect sleep, mood, and overall life satisfaction. These challenges can make it difficult to pause, reflect, or find time for self-care, leading to a sense of being stuck or overwhelmed.
Counselling provides a supportive space to process these challenges, explore coping strategies, and regain a sense of balance and control. It offers an opportunity to reflect on priorities, manage stress, and develop practical strategies for navigating work, family, and personal responsibilities. Counselling can help build resilience, improve emotional wellbeing, and reconnect with your values and goals. Whether you are dealing with career uncertainty, relationship pressures, or the everyday strains of adult life, having a safe, non-judgmental space to talk can make a profound difference.
Counselling for Older Adults
Navigating later life can be challenging. As we grow older, life can feel increasingly complex. The world changes quickly, with technology, social expectations, and ways of connecting evolving all the time. It’s natural to feel uncertain, left behind, or overwhelmed by these changes, whether that’s learning to use new devices, keeping up with online services, or simply adapting to life’s pace. Even small adjustments can feel exhausting when they accumulate, making it harder to stay confident and independent.
Later life also brings unique emotional challenges. Many people experience regular losses, such as friends, family, roles, or routines. These experiences can prompt reflection on life, purpose, and what truly matters. While they can feel heavy, they also create space for self-understanding, resilience, and meaning. At the same time, later life can be a period of renewed perspective, allowing people to focus on relationships, passions, and personal goals that may have been postponed earlier in life.
Counselling provides a supportive space to explore these challenges, build confidence with technology and modern life, and reflect on what matters most to you. It can help you navigate change, cope with grief, and find a sense of purpose and connection in an ever-changing world. Counselling also offers practical support for adapting to new ways of living, learning, or communicating, while providing emotional guidance to help you maintain balance, independence, and wellbeing as you move through this stage of life.
