Karen Cator, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor Candidate, Certified Life Coach
Life is full of transitions, and while they can bring growth and new opportunities, they often come with unique challenges. Many of us are at a crossroads, asking, “Now what?” If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed by changes such as evolving relationships, career shifts, empty nesting, divorce, aging parents, or other life role transitions, I’m here to help. Whether you’re struggling with grief and loss or simply seeking clarity and direction, this is an ideal time to explore what matters most to you, what you need in the present, and where you want to go next.
Although mid-life is a natural time of transition, many of us are left feeling stuck and wondering, “What now?” As someone who has walked that path myself, I can help you navigate the often concurrent mid-life transitions such as changing relationships, empty nesting, changing careers, caring for aging parents, or divorce.
I support adults of all ages facing a wide range of challenges, including grief, anxiety, depression, burnout, and life transitions. My approach is integrative and client-centered. I use practical tools and techniques tailored to help you in your everyday life. Every session is personalized, meeting you where you are at that specific stage of your life.
Our work together may involve the following treatment approaches:
Attachment Theory: Focusing on relationships and bonds between people, including those between a parent and child and between romantic partners.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): Cultivating self-leadership by compassionately engaging with the different parts of ourselves.
Narrative Therapy: Exploring how personal stories shape our identities and discovering new ways to reframe and empower our narrative.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Unpacking how thoughts and behaviours affect emotions and decisions.
