when trust is broken
The impact of infidelity
Infidelity can shake the foundations of a relationship – and of one’s sense of self.
For some, it brings shock, anger, and confusion. For others, numbness, grief, or shame. It can feel as though everything that was known and safe has been thrown into question.
Sometimes, both partners want to understand what happened and whether the relationship can heal.
Other times, one person seeks therapy alone – to make sense of what they feel, to decide what they can live with, or to recover from the loss of trust. Both paths are valid.
Therapy offers a confidential space to begin speaking about what has happened – not to judge or assign blame, but to understand what this event means and what it has revealed.

The emotional impact of infidelity
Infidelity is rarely just about sex or secrecy.
It often exposes deeper tensions – needs that were unspoken, fears that were ignored, or longings that could not be communicated.
For the person who has been betrayed, the pain can reopen old wounds of rejection or abandonment.
For the person who was unfaithful, there may be guilt, self-hatred, or confusion about what drove them to cross a boundary.
In therapy, these layers can begin to be spoken about with care and honesty. Whether attended individually or as a couple, the aim is to make sense of what happened and to begin working through what it has set in motion.

How does therapy help
Counselling for infidelity provides a space to slow down and speak without the pressure to decide immediately.
It allows both partners – or an individual – to explore what the infidelity meant, what it expressed, and what it has changed.
Through this process, understanding can begin to replace accusation. Some relationships rebuild trust; others come to an end with greater clarity and less bitterness.
In either case, counselling helps restore a sense of dignity, meaning, and emotional truth.
Our psychotherapists work with depth and discretion, helping you to navigate one of life’s most painful experiences with honesty and care.
