When Life Transitions Feel Overwhelming

Sometimes transitions can trigger stress, anxiety, or a loss of direction. Signs you may need professional support include:

Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or withdrawn
Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
Increased irritability, sadness, or hopelessness
Changes in appetite or motivation
Questioning meaning, purpose, or values

If you recognise these signs, seeking help early can prevent distress from becoming unmanageable.

What is an Existential or Life Crisis?

A life crisis often arises when major change disrupts your sense of meaning or identity—such as relationship breakdown, bereavement, or illness. These moments can feel destabilising, but with support, they can also lead to profound self-understanding and growth.
