Life transitions: when everything changed and you are still catching up.

What therapy helps with life transitions and relationship difficulties?

Life transitions therapy West London at The Lyceum Clinic offers compassionate, evidence-based CBT for people facing major changes, relationship difficulties and grief. Led by Sanah Younis, a BABCP-accredited cognitive behavioural therapist, we provide short- and long-term support in Chiswick, Hammersmith and Ealing, as well as online, to help you regain steadiness when routines, roles and relationships shift. CBT helps by clarifying the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that sustain distress after a transition. When everything changed and you are still catching up, therapy offers practical tools: identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing assumptions through gentle behavioural experiments, developing coping strategies to manage uncertainty, and rehearsing new ways of thinking and acting. Work is collaborative and structured, with measurable goals such as reduced anxiety, improved decision-making and restored day-to-day functioning. We typically work over a time-limited course, often 8–12 sessions, but adapt pace and length to your needs and use routine outcome measures to track progress. Transitions often bring grief and relational strain—separation, bereavement, career change or becoming a carer can all unsettle identity and connection. In sessions we pay equal attention to immediate coping and long-term adjustment, combining emotion regulation, problem-solving and relapse-prevention so change becomes manageable rather than overwhelming. Practical tasks may include managing paperwork, communicating needs to partners, setting boundaries, or finding new routines that fit changed circumstances. CBT is an evidence-based approach widely used for adjustment difficulties and mood disorders and is adapted here to respect cultural and personal context. If you live in West London and would like face-to-face therapy in Chiswick, Hammersmith or Ealing, or prefer online sessions, Sanah Younis and the team at The Lyceum Clinic can help you make grounded choices and rebuild routine and meaning after change. Assessments begin with a compassionate, structured formulation so therapy targets what matters most to you; sessions are confidential and available by self-referral or via GP.
