Post-affair Couple Therapy

Affairs happen in couple relationships, but it does not have to mean the end of the relationship. Post-affair counselling can be successful in rebuilding trust and intimacy.

Because the foundation of a relationship is trust, infidelity can actually take many forms. Emotional unfaithfulness in the form of online relationships and addiction to pornography can have equally devastating effects on a partner. When people feel cheated on, their sense of self-worth and their trust are ravaged.

For many couples, this is the end of the relationship. But if the infidelity stops, it doesn’t have to be the end.

Post-Affair Counselling

Many couples choose couple therapy after an affair or a period of unfaithfulness. They can benefit from the help of a qualified couples counsellor who has experience seeing them through the healing process.
