Not every struggle has a clear label or an obvious cause. Sometimes, people seek counselling not because of a specific event, but because something simply doesn’t feel right. You might feel disconnected, overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally numb—and find it difficult to explain why.

You may be experiencing:

• A lingering sense of sadness or unease without a clear reason

• Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or shut down

• Difficulty putting your thoughts or feelings into words

• A sense of emptiness, loneliness, or isolation—even when surrounded by others

• Feeling like you’ve lost touch with who you are

• Low self-worth or constant self-criticism

• Trouble staying present, or feeling like life is just passing you by

• Difficulty adjusting to changes, even if they seem ‘normal’ from the outside

• A deep yearning for something more, even if you can't name what that is

At A Question of Life Counselling, I offer support for these often hard-to-name concerns. Counselling can help you gently explore these feelings, even when you’re unsure where they come from. Sometimes, just having a space to talk—without needing to explain everything perfectly—can offer profound relief. Together, we can begin to make sense of what you’re feeling and discover healthier ways to cope, relate, and reconnect.

We may also use mindfulness-informed practices to help you develop greater awareness of your emotions, thoughts, and body. Mindfulness can support emotional regulation, reduce stress, and help you feel more grounded in daily life. Whether it’s through reflective conversation, mindfulness techniques, or creative exploration, our work is guided by your needs and your pace.

You don’t need to have it all figured out before reaching out. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply unsure of what you need, that’s okay—A Question of Life Counselling is a place to begin.
