Online Therapy at Upside Stories
Support for people approaching midlife and beyond who want to reconnect with what gives their life meaning.
We’ll explore areas like identity, purpose, relationships, ageism, health, work, and creativity—helping you clarify what matters most, what energises you, and how to live with more direction, fulfilment, and self-trust.
We offer assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for mental health concerns — such as depression, anxiety, major stress or worry — related to mental illness or life transitions in midlife and older age, including bereavement, trauma, unexpected health events, family caring or parenting, loss, relocation, or retirement.
Together, we’ll build motivation, confidence, and practical strategies to help YOU make sense of what you’re going through and develop strategies to feel better and move forward.
Online therapy sessions are for people looking to enhance their overall wellbeing and life fulfilment.
These sessions focus on personal growth and thriving – we’ll explore different life domains – such as identity, relationships, family, work, health, leisure, and creativity – by helping you reconnect with what gives your life meaning.
Common areas of support include identifying your core values and strengths, building confidence, setting meaningful goals, developing motivation, and learning practical strategies for self-care and coping.
These sessions can be especially helpful if your story includes experiences of invisibility, invalidation, or ageism.
Therapy Tailored to You
We begin with a thorough psychological assessment, listening to your story and understanding your symptoms in context.
Therapy is then tailored to your needs – drawing on evidence based approaches. Sessions are collaborative, relaxed, and compassionate, at a pace you’re comfortable with. They include handouts, tracking, and between session activities.
In sessions, you’ll get a safe, confidential space to explore your feelings and challenges. We work together on practical skills – like coping strategies or mood management – and deeper insights – like uncovering patterns or addressing past wounds – so that you can heal and grow.
The Upside Approach
We take a positive psychology and coaching-informed approach. In each session, we might use reflective exercises or questionnaires to assess your wellbeing across various areas, then work together on practical action plans. You’ll learn techniques for stress management, habit formation, and mindset shifts that can support your day-to-day life and long-term fulfilment.
Let’s Find Your Zest!
These sessions feel supportive and motivating. We celebrate small wins and brainstorm solutions to obstacles together.
Whether you’re navigating a midlife transition or simply wanting more fulfilment, Wellbeing Psychology offers guidance to help you create a life that aligns with your values and aspirations.
