Breakups can feel like the end of the world, especially when they come unexpectedly or involve unresolved feelings. Counselling provides a structured way to process the pain, rediscover your identity, and rebuild your confidence. It’s not just about moving on; it’s about moving forward with strength and clarity.

What is complicated grief, and how is it addressed in therapy?
Complicated grief occurs when feelings of loss are prolonged and debilitating. It often arises after the loss of a significant relationship or life partner. Unlike typical grieving, complicated grief can interfere with daily life and make it hard to function. Therapy creates a safe space to explore these emotions, untangle their roots, and develop healthy coping mechanisms.

What does a counselling session for breakup trauma look like?

Each session is tailored to your needs. We’ll explore the unique dynamics of your relationship, identify lingering attachments, and address any feelings of guilt, anger, or sadness. Over time, you’ll gain tools to navigate this challenging period and rediscover hope.

How long does recovery take?
The journey is unique for everyone. Some clients find solace in a few months, while others benefit from a longer-term approach. The goal isn’t just to heal but to grow and emerge stronger than before.

Why is investing in counselling after a breakup worthwhile?
Heartbreak is one of life’s greatest teachers. By engaging in therapy, you’re choosing to learn from the experience, turning pain into an opportunity for profound personal growth. This process can set the stage for healthier, more fulfilling relationships in the future.
