Breakups are hard. Whether it ended suddenly or slowly faded, losing a relationship can leave you feeling lost, overwhelmed, and unsure about what’s next. If you're going through a breakup right now, first of all: you're not alone, and how you're feeling is completely valid.

At Brisbane Couples Counselling, I offer individual sessions to help you process the grief and emotional rollercoaster that can come with a breakup. This isn’t just about moving on. It’s about moving through it. Together, we can work through the emotions, untangle any lingering questions, and gently unpack what the relationship meant to you.
What Healing Can Look Like
Everyone processes heartbreak differently, but in our sessions, we might explore:
• Understanding and validating your feelings (no toxic positivity here)
• Making sense of what happened and what you’ve learned
• Rebuilding your sense of self-worth and identity outside the relationship
• Letting go in your own time, at your own pace
Sometimes, people think they should be “over it” by now. But there’s no deadline for healing. Your experience is unique, and there's no pressure to rush.
Ready to Date Again... Maybe?
Eventually, when you feel ready, I can also support you in exploring what you’re looking for in your next relationship. That might mean:
• Getting clear on your values, needs, and deal-breakers
• Unpacking patterns that haven’t served you in the past
• Boosting your confidence as you re-enter the dating world
• Navigating the world of dating apps, first dates, and everything in between
Whether you’re nervous to put yourself out there again or just not sure what you’re looking for, I’m here to help you approach dating with clarity and self trust. You deserve a relationship that feels right, one where you’re seen, respected, and safe.
A Space Just for You
You don’t have to navigate this transition alone. Counselling can offer you a non-judgmental, supportive space to reflect, feel and grow.
If this resonates with you, feel free to get in touch. I'd love to walk alongside you as you move from heartbreak to healing, and from confusion to confidence.
