Counselling for separation, divorce and relationship loss
When a relationship ends, you lose more than a person. That is grief, even though nobody has died.
You can lose a home, a routine, shared friends, time with your children, and the future you had pictured together.
Separation and divorce often bring conflicting feelings at the same time: sadness, anger, relief, guilt, fear about what comes next. It can be hard to grieve someone who is still alive, especially if you still see them or share the care of children.
Estrangement from a family member, or the end of a close friendship, can hurt in the same way.
How counselling can help
- Making sense of what has happened and how you feel about it
- Grieving the relationship and the future you expected
- Working through anger, guilt, rejection or betrayal
- Rebuilding confidence and a sense of who you are on your own
- Finding a steadier way to manage ongoing contact
Whatever the circumstances of the ending, you can talk about it here without judgement.
Not all loss is bereavement, but all loss can bring grief.
