Healing After Infidelity
Individual therapy to help you process betrayal, rebuild self-trust, and find clarity
When Trust Is Broken
Infidelity can shake your sense of safety and leave deep, confusing emotions in its wake.
You might feel grief, anger, numbness, or question your worth and identity.
Healing begins with caring for your heart, understanding what you are feeling, and taking gentle steps toward peace, clarity, and strength for the path ahead.
How Individual Therapy Helps
I offer individual counselling for those navigating the aftermath of infidelity. Whether you are deciding what comes next, coping with intense emotions, or reconnecting with your sense of self.
Therapy offers space to:
- Process the shock and emotional intensity of betrayal
- Reduce anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and rumination
- Rebuild confidence and trust in yourself
- Clarify boundaries, values, and next steps
- Restore a sense of steadiness so choices feel grounded
Our work begins by helping your nervous system settle and making sense of what you are experiencing, so that you can feel more calm, present, and in control of your decisions.
Therapeutic Approaches
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) supports emotional awareness and regulation, helping you move through sadness, anger, fear, and loss while strengthening connection to yourself.
- EMDR Therapy helps your brain and body process the painful memories of betrayal so they carry less intensity over time.
Together, these approaches can help restore emotional balance and reconnect you with your values and self-trust, regardless of what happens in the relationship.
If You’re Not Sure Where to Begin
It’s okay not to know what you want right now.
Therapy isn’t about quick decisions, it is about giving yourself space to breathe, understand, and heal at your own pace.
Healing after infidelity begins with you – your safety, your emotions, and your next chapter.
What to Expect
- First session: We focus on what feels most urgent, your goals, and immediate supports.
- Ongoing sessions: Depending on your needs, we may use gentle, evidence-based approaches such as EMDR or EFT to help calm your system, reduce distress, and bring clarity.
- Pace: Always led by your readiness—no pressure, no agenda.
FAQ
What can therapy help me with after betrayal?
Therapy can help you process the emotional shock, rebuild your sense of safety, understand your feelings, reduce intrusive thoughts, and reconnect with your sense of self. It is a space to regain clarity, calm, and confidence.
Do I have to talk about all the details?
No. You decide what feels safe to share. Healing from betrayal does not require going into every detail of the event. Therapy focuses on your emotional experience, your meaning making process, and the shifts happening inside you.
Can EMDR help with betrayal trauma?
Yes. EMDR can reduce the emotional intensity of the memories and the physical responses connected to betrayal. It supports the brain in processing the event and the underlying beliefs that often arise, such as feelings of worthlessness, fear, or self blame.
