Life After A break up

Helping you make sense of what’s happened and shape your next chapter

 Relationship Recovery

When a relationship ends, it can leave you feeling unsettled, emotionally drained, or unsure of who you are without it. Whether the separation was sudden, mutual, or long anticipated, the impact often reaches far beyond the relationship itself — affecting confidence, identity, and one's sense of direction.

This support offers a calm, confidential space to make sense of what has happened and to begin rebuilding your life with clarity and self-trust. While counselling cannot take away the pain of a breakup, it can help you understand your experience, steady yourself emotionally, and focus on shaping a future that feels meaningful and intentional.

The work is reflective, practical, and forward-focused. Together, we explore patterns, attachment dynamics, and emotional responses — not to assign blame, but to help you integrate learning, regain confidence, and move forward with greater awareness.

How I Can Support You

I can support you to:

  • Make sense of the emotional impact of a breakup or separation
  • Understand relationship patterns without judgment or self-criticism
  • Rebuild confidence and self-trust after loss or rejection
  • Process grief while remaining connected to hope and direction
  • Strengthen emotional resilience and self-compassion
  • Let go of unhelpful beliefs about love, worth, or failure
  • Clarify what you want to carry forward into your next chapter

How I Work

My approach blends compassionate counselling with future-focused support. I offer a steady space to reflect on what has been lost, while gently supporting you to reconnect with your strengths, values, and intentions for the future.

This work often sits between counselling and coaching — honouring the emotional depth of relationship loss while supporting growth, clarity, and personal development.

Is This Support Right for You?

This may be helpful if you are:

  • Recovering from a breakup, separation, or divorce
  • Feeling unsure of your identity outside a relationship
  • Emotionally overwhelmed or stuck in self-doubt
  • Wanting to understand patterns before moving forward
  • Ready to rebuild confidence and direction at your own pace

Next Steps

If you’re considering this work, I offer a free 20-minute consultation to explore whether this support feels right for you.

Sessions are available in North Devon and online.  Book Your Consultation Here


 If you’re still in a relationship and wanting to strengthen communication or rebuild connection, couples therapy may be a more appropriate place to begin.
