Life Transitions Counselling in West London
Even positive changes can feel unsettling; our expert psychologists are here to help you navigate life's changing seasons.
Life transitions - whether expected or sudden, chosen or thrust upon us - can stir up complex emotions, identity shifts, and a deep sense of uncertainty. In moments of change, it’s common to feel both excited and lost, hopeful and afraid, clear and confused - often all at once.
Transitions may involve letting go of what was familiar, facing what is unknown, or adjusting to a version of life you didn’t anticipate. These periods can quietly challenge your sense of who you are and what matters most.
At The Knightsbridge Practice, we offer a calm, reflective space for life transitions counselling in West London, to help you navigate life’s turning points with intention and care - whether you’re beginning something new, ending something old, or standing in the in-between.
Therapy for life changes

How therapy for life transitions can help
During times of transition, therapy offers both practical grounding and emotional space - a place to process, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we can:
-
Clarify what’s changing and what it means to you
-
Explore emotions that feel conflicted, overwhelming, or unexpected
-
Make sense of shifts in identity, relationships, or priorities
-
Develop resilience, self-trust, and coping strategies
-
Reframe uncertainty as potential, not just threat
-
Create space to grieve what you’re leaving behind, while embracing what’s ahead
A flexible, personalised approach to therapy
Many clients benefit from various types of therapy.
For example, a session might incorporate the reflective depth of psychodynamic therapy, the practical tools of CBT, and the self-kindness of CFT - all held within a relational, person-centred frame.
Your therapist will collaborate with you to shape a path that feels relevant, respectful, and effective.
