Counselling & Psychotherapy for Women

Specialized psychological and emotional support for in women encountering midlife loss, transitions, and adjustments.

“Change is situational; transition is psychological.” - William Bridges

Life is a series of transitions, each bringing its own set of challenges and opportunities. For many women, navigating these transitions can be overwhelming, whether it’s dealing with significant life changes, a health crisis, or the complexities of grief and loss. As a social worker and psychotherapist based in Ottawa, Ontario, Tall Poppy Counselling specializes in providing compassionate and expert counselling for women experiencing various transitions. My focus is on supporting you through these pivotal moments, helping you to find balance, clarity, and resilience as you navigate life's evolving phases.

Counselling for women during transitions is a specialized therapeutic service aimed at addressing the unique challenges that arise during periods of significant change. These transitions can include anything from major life events such as career shifts, relationship changes, or caregiving responsibilities, to navigating personal crises or coping with grief and loss. Each of these transitions comes with its own emotional and psychological impact, and effective counselling can provide the support needed to manage these changes with greater ease and understanding.

For women in midlife and beyond, I recognize the significance of this transitional period, as well as the opportunities it presents for self-reflection, healing and growth. Tall Poppy Counselling’s approach encourages women to explore their identity, better understand their emotions and thoughts, heal inner child wounds, and embrace the wisdom that comes with life's journey.
