When to seek support

Is Separation or Divorce Counselling Right for You?

You don’t have to be falling apart to deserve support. Many people come to us during a separation, right after a breakup, or long after, when the hurt hasn’t eased.

If any of these sound familiar, support could help:



You can’t stop replaying what went wrong, or wondering what you could have done differently.



You feel lonely, lost or unsure who you are outside the relationship.



Anger, guilt or heartbreak is affecting your sleep, work or health.



Co-parenting or communicating with your ex feels overwhelming.



You’re ready to move forward but don’t know where to start.

Who We Help

For Anyone Navigating the End of a Relationship

We work one-on-one with adults going through separation or divorce, ending a long-term relationship or marriage, or healing from a painful breakup, whether it happened last week or years ago.

How we work

How Separation and Divorce Counselling Works

We’ll help you process the loss, manage the emotions that come in waves, and handle practical stressors like co-parenting and difficult conversations. Over time, the focus shifts to rebuilding: self-worth, healthy boundaries, and the confidence to step into your next chapter.

What We Can Help With:

Separation and Divorce

Whether you chose it or not, the end of a marriage brings big emotional and practical changes. We help you move through them with more clarity and calm.

Breakups and the End of Long-Term Relationships

Breakups can hurt just as deeply, even without a marriage. Your heartbreak deserves care and support.

Grief, Anger and Guilt After a Relationship Ends

Mixed and shifting emotions are normal. We give you space to feel them and work through them safely.

Co-Parenting Stress and Communication

Navigating parenting with an ex can be tense and draining. Learn ways to communicate, set boundaries and protect your peace.

Rebuilding Self-Worth, Identity and Starting Over

Rediscover who you are outside the relationship. We help you rebuild confidence and create a life that feels like yours.

Healing After Infidelity or Betrayal

When a relationship ends because of betrayal, trust in yourself and others can be shaken. We help you heal and learn to trust again.

Our Therapeutic Approaches:

Person-Centred Therapy

A warm, steady space where you’re heard without judgement. You set the pace for your healing.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Helps with rumination, self-blame and worry about the future. You’ll build more balanced, hopeful ways of thinking.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Helps you accept what you can’t change and focus on what you value. Move forward with purpose, even through the pain.

Narrative Therapy

Helps you rewrite the story of what happened in a way that honours your strength. The end of a relationship is a chapter, not your whole story.

Family Systems Approaches

Looks at how the separation affects your family and relationships. Especially helpful for co-parenting and blended families.

Somatic and Polyvagal-Informed Therapy

Heartbreak and stress are felt in the body too. Gentle body-based work helps you feel calmer and more grounded.

"Contacting Ann to book my first appointment was one of the most meaningful acts of self-care I have ever done for myself. What felt like a small step at the time became a true turning point in my life. Since that first session, my life has transformed in such a positive way, and I am no longer the same person — in the best possible sense. I am deeply grateful for the growth, clarity, and healing I’ve experienced through this work."
