Finding support and meaning in life’s later chapters
Later life can bring unexpected challenges alongside its gifts. You might be navigating retirement, bereavement, health changes, or questioning your sense of purpose and identity. Perhaps you’re caring for others while feeling unsupported yourself, or adjusting to life transitions that feel overwhelming.
Counselling in later life offers a confidential space to explore these experiences with someone who understands that ageing isn’t just about loss – it’s also about adaptation, resilience, and finding new ways to live meaningfully. Whether you’re facing loneliness, grief, anxiety about the future, or simply need someone to hear you, therapy can help you process these feelings and find clarity.
I work with older adults both online anywhere in the UK and in person in Bedford. My approach is respectful, unhurried, and tailored to your individual needs. Many people find that counselling in their later years brings unexpected insights and a renewed sense of connection to themselves and others.
How counselling can help with later life concerns:
- Processing bereavement and multiple losses
- Adjusting to retirement or changes in independence
- Navigating family relationships and generational challenges
- Managing anxiety, depression or feelings of isolation
- Finding purpose and meaning in this stage of life
- Coping with health concerns or caring responsibilities
