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 feels 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 BACP- registered psychotherapeutic counsellor, 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 shake sense of self, identity and belonging. My lived experience with major life changes, combined with over 15 years in supportive roles, allows me to offer a compassionate and inclusive space where you can find support through life transitions.
Whatever challenge has brought you here, whether it's a recent change, unresolved feelings, or the experience of feeling stuck in life, 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 and support through life transitions.
- Building resilience while navigating major life changes.
- Reconnecting with your values, purpose and sense of identity.
- Overcoming feelings of isolation and helping you connect more meaningfully with others.
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.
