Navigating Life's Changes with Compassion and Clarity
Life’s big changes can leave you feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you are. Perhaps you’re struggling to adjust after a significant shift, feeling like a stranger in your own life.
Maybe you’re facing a reality you never saw coming—a path that suddenly vanished, a future that now looks unfamiliar, or a struggle with a part of your identity you've never had to question before. Whatever you’re dealing with, it’s okay to feel uncertain or out of place. You don’t have to face this alone.
I’m Iva Dragostinova, a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist (BACP-registered) offering integrative counselling in Worthing and online. I work with adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, helping them find clarity, strength, and purpose as they navigate life’s challenges.
A Space You Feel Understood
I understand how life's unexpected turns can deeply shake your own sense of identity and belonging. My lived experience with significant life transitions, combined with over 15 years in supportive roles, allows me to offer a compassionate, inclusive space where you feel heard.
Whatever challenge has brought you here, whether it's a recent change, an old wound, or the feeling of being stuck, I'm here to help. Together, we can explore your thoughts and feelings, build resilience, and help you reconnect with what matters to you.
How I Can Help
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or uncertain, counselling offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and emotions. I can support you in:
- Untangling your thoughts to gain clarity.
- Building resilience as you navigate life’s transitions.
- Reconnecting with your values and purpose.
- Overcoming feelings of isolation and forming meaningful connections.
I tailor my approach to your unique needs, using humanistic and relational methods to ensure that our work together feels supportive, empowering, and deeply personal.
