Loss of Direction in Midlife
When life continues — but no longer feels oriented
Many people in midlife find that life is no longer guided by the assumptions, motivations, or identities that once provided direction.
Outwardly, little may appear wrong.
Inwardly, there is often a growing sense of uncertainty, flatness or emptiness — a feeling of being lost without being broken.
This experience can be unsettling precisely because it lacks drama.
There may be no obvious problem to solve — only a sense that something essential needs to be re-examined before the next phase of life can properly begin..
What this experience often includes
People who find their way here often describe:
feeling lost or unmoored in midlife
questioning long-held values, roles, or goals
a loss of meaning that success or stability no longer resolves
uncertainty about what genuinely matters now
This is not a failure of insight. It is most often a developmental threshold.
How we work
I work online, one-to-one, in time-limited formats.
Sessions are reflective, steady, and contained.
They support thinking, discernment, and the gradual restoration of internal authority — without urgency or pressure.
This work suits people who are psychologically minded and willing to stay with uncertainty long enough for clarity to emerge.
Working together
All work is offered online, one-to-one, in time-limited formats rather than open-ended therapy.
Each piece of work is structured as a 6-session process (with an 8-session option available where appropriate), designed to support clarity, orientation, and sustainable functioning without urgency or pressure.
This approach allows the work to remain focused, reflective, and contained.
Fees
Fees reflect seniority, depth, and the finite nature of the work.
6-session process: typically £900 – £1,050
8-session process: typically £1,200 – £1,350
Exact details are discussed after an exploratory conversation, once mutual fit is clear.
Exploratory conversation
Before any commitment, I offer a 20-minute exploratory conversation.
This is a calm, practical discussion — not an assessment or obligation — intended to:
clarify what brings you now
check whether this way of working fits your situation
decide together whether working together feels appropriate
If it is not a good fit, I will say so openly.
