A Progressive Online Psychology Practice
Welcome to Upside Stories
Upside Stories is an online psychology practice with a focus on growth and positive ageing from early-midlife onwards.
At Upside Stories, we help people through midlife and later life, who are experiencing mental health concerns as they navigate difficult life transitions or seek growth. Some of these stories aren’t unique to ageing but are shaped by health and wellbeing in earlier chapters.
At Upside Stories, we believe that a strong therapeutic relationship & insightful questions lead to positive change.
At Upside Stories, we use a practical, strengths-based approach. That means we help you build on what’s already working, your life experiences, and learn new ways to solve problems and grow. Our goal is to help you become your own therapist over time.
Who We Help
We support people towards midlife and beyond — as they navigate life’s big questions, transitions, and challenges.
At Upside Stories, we see life as unfolding in acts, where each stage brings new opportunities to keep revisiting life’s themes with deeper understanding. Instead of rigid stages — of learning in earlier life, productivity in midlife, and rest in later life — we believe that growth, purpose, & renewal happen at every turn.
Whether you're shaping your identity, navigating midlife shifts, or reinventing your life with purpose, our online therapy supports you as life gets deeper.
