EDHA concern guide

Life Changes & Adjustment

Moves, marriage, separation, job changes, health events, caregiving, retirement and other transitions can disrupt identity and routines even when the change was expected.

People often seek support when...

  • Feeling stuck after a major change
  • Difficulty making decisions about what comes next
  • Loss of confidence or identity after a setback
  • Stress affecting relationships, work or daily routines

How counselling may help

  • Make sense of the emotional impact of change
  • Clarify priorities and next steps
  • Build coping and problem-solving skills
  • Reconnect with values, routines and support

When other care may also be appropriate

Major changes can sometimes trigger severe mood, anxiety or other symptoms that need additional clinical assessment.
