As we welcome the new year, many of us wonder what changes and opportunities lie ahead. For those seeking personal growth and healing, 2026 promises to be a year of transformation in the fields of therapy and life coaching. Therapies with Lisa Fursman, a dedicated counsellor and life coach, is ready to guide you through these changes with her unique blend of therapies designed to support your journey. This post explores what 2026 might bring for therapy and life coaching, and how Lisa’s approach can help you embrace these shifts.
New Year, New Beginnings: Growing Gently into Change
As the calendar turns and we step into a new year, many of us feel the quiet pull toward renewal. Not the loud resolutions or pressure to reinvent ourselves overnight—but the kind of beginning that feels like a seedling pushing through soil: slow, intentional, and full of quiet strength.
At Therapies with Lisa Fursman, this season is an invitation to pause and ask: What wants to grow in me this year? Whether you're navigating anxiety, processing grief, managing anger, or simply seeking clarity, this is a space where your beginnings are honoured—no matter how small.
🌿 Therapy as Tending
Therapy isn’t about fixing; it’s about tending. Like watering a plant, it’s the consistent, gentle attention that helps us thrive. In our sessions, we explore what’s beneath the surface—your stories, your patterns, your hopes—and we do so with care, curiosity, and compassion.
🌼 Coaching as Cultivation
If you’re looking to shape your life with more intention, coaching offers a space to dream, plan, and act. It’s about cultivating the conditions for growth—whether that’s setting boundaries, building confidence, or aligning your actions with your values.
🌻 Supervision as Shared Growth
For fellow practitioners, supervision here is collaborative and non-hierarchical. It’s a place to reflect, recharge, and grow together. We explore the work, the self, and the systems we’re part of—with honesty and warmth.
This year, let your growth be gentle. Let your beginnings be enough. And let your healing be rooted in connection.
New Trends Shaping Therapy and Life Coaching in 2026
The landscape of mental health and personal development is evolving rapidly. Several trends are expected to influence how therapy and life coaching are practiced this year:
Holistic Approaches to Well-being
Therapy and coaching are moving beyond symptom management to focus on overall well-being. This includes emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Lisa’s therapies incorporate mindfulness, emotional awareness, and practical life skills to foster lasting change.
Customized Therapy Plans
One-size-fits-all approaches are becoming less common. Instead, therapists and coaches tailor their methods to each individual’s needs. Lisa works closely with clients to develop personalized plans that address their unique challenges and goals.
Increased Focus on Resilience and Adaptability
The uncertainties of recent years have highlighted the importance of resilience. Therapy and coaching in 2026 will prioritize building skills to adapt to change and bounce back from setbacks. Lisa’s life coaching sessions emphasize practical strategies for strengthening resilience.
Empathy and Active Listening
Lisa creates a safe space where clients feel heard and understood. This foundation allows for honest exploration of thoughts and feelings.
Evidence-Based Techniques
Her therapies draw from proven methods such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and solution-focused coaching.
Goal-Oriented Coaching
Lisa helps clients set clear, achievable goals and supports them in taking concrete steps toward those goals.
Practical Tips to Make the Most of Your Therapy or Coaching in 2026
To get the best results from your sessions with Therapies Lisa Fursman or any other professional, consider these tips:
Be Open and Honest
Share your thoughts and feelings openly to allow for meaningful progress.
Set Clear Goals
Define what you want to achieve and revisit these goals regularly.
Practice Skills Outside Sessions
Apply what you learn in therapy or coaching to your daily life.
Give Feedback
Let your therapist or coach know what works well and what could be improved.
Commit to the Process
Change takes time, so stay patient and consistent.
A new year isn’t about “fixing” yourself
So much New Year messaging focuses on perfection—new bodies, flawless routines, endless productivity. But therapy with Lisa Fursman begins somewhere different. It begins with the understanding that you are not broken. You are responding—courageously—to the life you’ve lived.
Change grows from acceptance—not self-criticism.
Letting go of last year’s weight
The end of a year often brings mixed emotions: grief for what didn’t happen, pride for what did, and confusion about everything in between. Therapy offers a place to process those emotions instead of carrying them silently.
Setting intentions, not pressure
Resolutions can be rigid; intentions are compassionate.
In therapy, New Year intention-setting might look like:
“I want to respond to myself with more kindness.”
“I want to communicate more clearly in my relationships.”
“I want to feel safer in my own body.”
“I want to move through anxiety instead of being ruled by it.”
With my support, intentions become concrete steps—small practices that add up to real change over time.
Creating tools for the year ahead
Therapy in the new year often focuses on developing:
calming strategies
healthier boundaries
improved self-talk
stress coping skills
relational communication
mindfulness and grounding practices
You don’t have to do it alone
A new year can bring excitement, but it can also highlight loneliness, uncertainty, and transition. Reaching out for therapy is not a sign of weakness—it is a powerful investment in yourself.
If this is the year you’d like to heal, grow, working with me can be a supportive place to begin
