Not Belonging: “I’ve always struggled to fit in. I want to know why.” There are many reasons why you might not feel you belong. Maybe your family moved around a lot. Perhaps your parents also struggled to fit in and you sensed their discomfort.
Identity: “My divorce made me question who I am.” It’s common to feel confused and uncertain when you have a major change in status.
Unresolved Grief: “I still miss my mum, even though she died years ago.” We can hold onto grief for many years and this can cause distress.
Retirement: “I feel pressured to retire but I feel such a deep sense of anxiety.” Adapting to retirement can be tough. Often much of our self-worth is tied up in our work. Psychotherapy helps you form a picture of the next stage of your life.
