THE HEALING PROCESS OF TRANSITION

Safely supports the client to move through the upheaval of change that has upended their normal trajectory of life, with a blend of counselling, somatic and creative processes. The transition unfolds in three stages, with each one forming the foundation for the next.

THE ENDING, be it falling in love, divorce, illness, retrenchment, giving birth, moving home or natural disaster, usually leaves the client feeling shocked, confused and overwhelmed, therefore the first stage of support prioritises their sense of safety, building stability and capacity to manage the daily responsibilities at home and at work, as well as sufficiently resourcing them to begin to address the impact of what has changed in their life.

THE MUDDY MIDDLE is the client’s deepening into the exploration, processing and healing of the emotional, mental and spiritual impact of what has changed in their life, in the context of their unique history, personality, behaviours and beliefs.

THE NEW BEGINNING unfolds when the client has healed enough to be able reframe and live with what has changed, and wants to move on with their life. This stage integrates the healing with all the aspects of the client’s life, that is in alignment with their values, needs, goals and dreams.
