Therapy for Job Loss, Redundancy and Retirement.
​​
Experiencing a change in your employment status can sometimes feel difficult to manage and cope with. Job loss, redundancy, and retirement each involves a significant shift in your daily life, identity, and future outlook. Understanding these challenges through the lens of change, loss, and grief can help you navigate these transitions.
Even if you consider your change in employment status to be a happy and positive transition, it is natural if you feel some uncertainty or disorientation due to the changes. ​
Job Loss and Redundancy
Losing your job can be an unexpectedly distressing experience, affecting not only your financial stability but also your sense of self-worth and identity. The emotional impact of job loss can be profound and multifaceted. Redundancy, or the loss of a job due to organisational changes, can add layers of complexity to your emotional experience of job loss. It often involves feelings of rejection and you might be questioning your professional value.
​
Retirement
Retirement marks the end of your working life and the beginning of a new phase of life. While it can be a time of excitement, it can also bring about significant emotional challenges and adjustments, and ultimately loss and grief. As our work is often closely linked to our identity and purpose, you may feel lost and confused about how to fill your time or navigate this new chapter. The transition can be challenging as you adjust to life without the structure work once provided.
Transitioning through changes in your employment can feel turbulent and difficult, but please remember that you don’t have to go through this alone. Wherever you are in your journey, I am here to support you. ​
