Life is full of transitions – some planned, others unexpected. While change can bring growth and new opportunities, it can also feel overwhelming, unsettling, and emotionally challenging. Whether you’re navigating a career move, a relationship breakdown, parenthood, bereavement, or retirement, talking therapy can offer support and clarity during uncertain times. Clinical psychologist Dr Maria Tucknott and her experienced team provide compassionate and evidence-based therapy in Hertfordshire and online, to help you adapt and thrive through life’s changes.

Understanding Life Transitions

Life transitions often trigger a range of emotions, from anxiety, grief, and sadness, to self-doubt and fear about the future. Even positive changes, such as moving house or starting a new job, can lead to unexpected stress and emotional strain. Therapy provides a calm and supportive space to explore your feelings, understand the impact of the change, and develop coping strategies to regain balance and direction.

There are a number of common life changes that people may seek therapy for, including:

·      Relationship breakdown or divorce
·      Redundancy, career shifts, or retirement
·      Becoming a parent or family changes
·      Bereavement or loss
·      Relocating or adjusting to a new environment
·      Health diagnoses or caring responsibilities
·      Identity changes or self-discovery

How Therapy Can Help

Dr Maria Tucknott draws on a range of evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to help you cope with uncertainty, process your emotions, and reconnect with your values and strengths. Together, you will work towards building emotional resilience, improving self-awareness, and making empowered decisions during difficult transitions.
