Life can change unexpectedly. A personal loss, relationship breakdown, workplace challenge , traumatic event , or other overwhelming situation can leave you feeling stressed , confused, and unsure of what to do next.
Signs
Hard events can shake anyone, and feeling thrown off after one is a common response. It may be time to reach out when the stress keeps you from sleeping, working or caring for yourself.
How counselling helps
Early on
With your counsellor, you sort out what happened and what feels most urgent. Putting it into words can make a confusing time feel a little clearer.
As you go
You practise simple ways to calm your body and slow racing thoughts, such as slow breathing or grounding, so the hardest days feel more manageable.
Over time
You look at your strengths and the support around you, then choose small, doable steps. Solution-focused therapy can help you build on what already works.

No, counselling is not an emergency service. If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 9-8-8, call 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433), or call 911 if you are in danger. Counselling can help in the days and weeks after a hard event, when you want support to steady yourself and plan what comes next.
If a hard event keeps getting in the way of your sleep, work or relationships, talking with a counsellor may help. You do not have to wait until things feel unbearable. Some people reach out soon after a sudden change, and others come months later when the stress has not eased.
It can help with many sudden or overwhelming events, such as a loss, a breakup, losing a job, a health scare or a frightening experience. What matters is how it affects you, not how big it looks to others. You can share as much or as little as you like, and your counsellor will go at your pace.
In the first session, your counsellor listens to what has been happening and what you need most right now. You decide what to share and when. Together you may try one or two ways to feel steadier, using approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which looks at how your thoughts, feelings and actions connect.
