Stages of Grieving
1. Denial
“Is it really over? I just can’t believe it!”
This stage involves where you are not able to accept if the relationship is really over and you develop alternatives in your head to make everything right.
2. Anger
“Why is this happening to me?! How could s/he do this?!”
The feeling of being betrayed and wronged can develop anger in you, which again is very normal if you have experienced a breakup.
3. Bargaining
“I need to get him/her back.” “Can we give this another shot?”
You try every rule in the book to try to make everything right or look for chances if there is some ray of hope of getting back with your partner.
4. Depression
“I can’t go on.”
You lose hope, and that my friend, is again very normal. You manifest and develop physical symptoms – like loss of appetite, excessive/deficient sleeping, persistent fatigue.
5. Acceptance
“What had to happen, happened.”
Now this is the final stage where you accept that certain things happened and make peace with it. It may not ensure happiness but makes your struggle with a heartbreak a little easier. It’s all about coming to terms with it and moving forward.
These processes are easier said than done. That is where the role of a therapist comes in where you learn to cope with everything in a more constructive and healthier way.

Sometimes, all we need is just ‘talk therapy’ and we can identify and find a resolution. No matter what the nature of a relationship, be it marriage, civil partnership or simply your significant other, it is never an easy situation when you are facing a breakup, separation or divorce. Counselling can offer the space to take a step back and gain some objectivity and space. In relation to divorce and separation it provides a “pause” at a point when everything feels overwhelming and in turmoil.
Consequently, it can help to begin to see a way out of the pain and difficult emotion, although this can feel impossible to believe whilst in the middle of separating. Our Counselling for Relationship Breakups becomes an opportunity not only to form an understanding of what has happened, but to begin to heal, by rediscovering and connecting with yourself again. When a breakup causes overwhelming feelings that are difficult to cope with, interfere with the ability to complete daily activities, or influence the reevaluation of one’s life path, a therapist or counselor can often be a supportive, helpful part of the healing process, particularly when conditions such as depression, low self-esteem, grief, or post-traumatic stress develop following a breakup.
In Our counseling, a person can discuss any emotions or difficulties experienced and explore ways to cope with negative feelings. Our Expert therapist can help address any guilt or self-blame that may be experienced and help a person come to terms with the end of the relationship. Should a person feel suicidal or depressed after a breakup, a therapist can also help treat these conditions.

Popular Questions
We have answers to common questions people ask
Counseling is NOT advice/suggestion but helping people to help themselves. It is not telling what is right or wrong. It is NOT giving opinions or 3rd Person’s Point of View. Counselling will help you to improve your emotional/mental health by working on your thoughts/beliefs, feelings, needs and behavior. On the contrary, advice and suggestions will make the people dependent on the person who is offering them. Counseling will make people self-dependent and empowers you to problem solve and make decisions on your own. Counselling will also help you to prevent problems and also develop yourself as a better person.

Our counsellors want to understand the client’s emotions through the facial expressions, gestures and tone. So that we can help the client more effectively. In case of chat counselling, Phone/Audio Only counselling, these ques will be missing and the counselling will not be effective.
In the past some clients have booked appointment and never showed up for the session. So those slots went waste. Those slots could have been given to the people who required it. When we started collecting the full fee in advance and adopted no refund and no rescheduling policy, the no shows have become almost nil. We want people to commit to the appointment time taken.
Yes. If the client has any diagnosed psychological disorder and is under regular medication already, we will be able to treat.
It is based on various factors such as severity and onset of the issue, support system available, client’s motivation and engagement. When we assessed all of them and give an approximate number of sessions required in the past, some clients took it like we unnecessarily ask them to come for many sessions. So we stopped giving idea on the number of sessions required and we leave it to the discretion of the client. Client may choose to book appointment when he/she wants a session.
We never tell the clients to book many slots in advance. During the counseling sessions, we may discuss whether the next session is required or not and client can choose to book or leave it.
The clients will anyway pay for only one session every time. In the first session, you can evaluate whether counselling can help you and decide to book for further sessions or not. When you book for the next session, please make sure that you have an agenda for the session.
The client would bring the agenda for the session and counsellor will help to get a direction by working on your thoughts, emotions and behaviours. The agenda may be to resolve a problem or to prevent future problem(s) or to develop oneself.
If there is no diagnosis of any severe psychological disorder, counselling will surely help you. If you have been diagnosed to have disorders such as Schizophrenia/Bi-Polar Disorder/Personality Disorder by a clinical psychologist, Counselling will help with regular medication.
Counselor will first meet the client individually and spend more time. Family members/parent will be met later for a brief period of time. It will not be possible to update you about the things happened in the session owing to confidentiality. Our counsellor will try his best to empower your family member/child to communicate the things happened in the session to you directly.
Of course, well-wishers are very important people in our lives. Though talking to them may resolve some issues, there are many limitations. In the busy life of the present, friends and family have their own problems and may not be listening very carefully and unintentionally end up giving advices that may actually prove more harmful than helpful. They may not be able to look at you objectively. They can be biased unconsciously because they have preconceived notions about you. There is a possibility that they can influence you with their personal values and judgments. When issues are complex, they may become anxious and transfer their anxiety to you, whereas a professional assesses you based on scientific knowledge and thus the bias is very minimum and objectivity is very high. A professional will be able to help even if the issue is complex because he is well trained to understand people and possess the skills and qualities to help!
Counsellors help in learning new/different ways of thinking, feeling and behaving to resolve conflicts/problems/losses in everyday life.
Counseling is always voluntary. People should not be forced to go for counseling. Counsellors have respect for Privacy and Autonomy. Counselor will not give their personal opinions in right-wrong paradigm. He may guide the clients on the scientific facts. He will not influence the client by personal values and judgments. He maintains strict Confidentiality. He does not reveal the identities and things discussed in counseling to any other. The Counsellor has developmental and cultural sensitivity and act to avoid harming his clients. The relationship between Counselor and Client will be a professional relationship alone. He does not condone or engage in discrimination based on age, gender, culture, disability, ethnicity, sexual orientation, caste and religion. When he feels that he is not able to help the clients and lack in competence, he will refer the clients to competent professionals. Please see the Our Ethics Page for more details.
The individuals who accept that their own efforts have not helped and seek counseling voluntarily benefit the most! Please remember that counseling is NOT advice giving. Counseling help is not a “quick-fix” solution. It is an interpersonal process between the client and a trained mental health professional. Commitment on the part of the client and their families along with counseling professional bring greater results.
Both professionals often deal with similar mental health problems; however the focus of treatment tends to be different. Psychiatrists are medical doctors with M.D. in Psychiatry or Diploma in Psychological Medicine (DPM) and are recognized to prescribe medicines, specializing in the treatment of mental disorders.
A professional counselor is a psychologist who has the ability to define problems and identify the barriers that prevent them from thinking clearly. The counselor throws light on those barriers and works with the individual’s mental health by working on the thoughts, emotions and behaviours to develop proactive and objective solutions to problems. Psychiatrists and professional counselors may team up together in treatment process for better results for various psychological issues such as addictions, depression and anxiety that require medications.
In psychological counseling, it is generally considered better to meet the client first rather than informants. The primary reason for this is that the client is the direct recipient of the counseling and their perspective and experiences are crucial for understanding their mental health and well-being. By meeting the client first, the counselor can establish a therapeutic relationship with them, which is essential for effective counseling. This relationship helps build trust, empathy, and rapport between the client and the counselor, creating a safe space for open communication and exploration of their concerns.
While informants such as family members, friends, or teachers can provide valuable insights into the client’s life and behavior, their perspectives may be subjective or incomplete. Meeting the client directly allows the counselor to gather information firsthand and gain a comprehensive understanding of their unique circumstances. It also enables the counselor to assess the client’s mental health needs accurately and tailor the counseling approach accordingly.
Here are some of the potential concerns:
1. Lack of client perspective: Meeting the informant first may result in a limited understanding of the client’s experiences, emotions, and concerns. The counselor may form initial impressions or make assumptions based solely on the informant’s account, which can be subjective or incomplete.
2. Loss of client trust: If the client discovers that the counselor has met with an informant before meeting them, it may raise questions about confidentiality and trust. The client might feel that their privacy has been compromised or that their perspective has been misrepresented.
3. Inaccurate assessment: Without direct interaction with the client, the counselor may struggle to accurately assess their mental health needs, symptoms, or goals. The counselor’s understanding of the client’s situation may be based on second-hand information, potentially leading to misinterpretations or misdiagnoses.
4. Limited therapeutic relationship: Establishing a strong therapeutic relationship is crucial for effective counseling. By meeting the informant first, the counselor may miss an opportunity to build rapport, trust, and empathy directly with the client. This can hinder the therapeutic process and impact the overall effectiveness of counseling.
5. Ethical considerations: Meeting informants before clients raises ethical considerations related to confidentiality, informed consent, and professional boundaries. It is essential for counselors to prioritize the well-being and autonomy of their clients while adhering to ethical guidelines and legal requirements.
Counseling is always voluntary because it is a process that is based on the relationship between the counselor and the client. The client needs to be able to trust and feel comfortable with the counselor in order to be open and honest about their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This is essential for the counseling process to be effective.
If counseling is not voluntary, the client is less likely to be engaged and to participate fully in the process. This can make it difficult for the counselor to help the client achieve their goals. Additionally, forced counseling can be harmful and can actually make the client’s problems worse.
The client must be initially motivated to attend at least their first appointment and maintain their drive to avoid dropping out. Collaborative engagement encourages the therapeutic alliance and improves treatment outcomes.
