Life transitions affect 10–20% in midlife.
What is Life Transitions and Adjustments Counselling?
Change can be challenging at any stage of life, but research shows that 10–20% of people experience an identity crisis or difficulty coping with major transitions, especially between the ages of 40–60. Midlife is a particularly vulnerable period, but it’s important to remember that facing uncertainty during these times is entirely normal — and you’re never alone in this journey.
At Incontact, we help you understand and process the complex emotions that come with significant life changes. Whether you're experiencing a career shift, relationship transition, family changes, or health challenges, our counsellors provide a compassionate space to explore your feelings. Beyond coping, therapy can also offer an opportunity for growth — a chance to pause, recalibrate, and reconnect with what truly matters to you as you move forward with renewed clarity and intention.
