Therapy for Heartbreak That Hits Hard

Breakups are often minimised by others, but if you're someone who feels deeply, the end of a relationship can feel like a full-body grief.

You may find yourself overwhelmed with emotion, questioning everything, or stuck in a cycle of longing and self-blame.

You might know on some level that the relationship needed to end, but the pain is still real, confusing and heavy.

You don’t need to get over it fast. With me, you have a space to process what the relationship meant, feel the grief fully, and find your way back to yourself – without judgment or pressure.

WHY BREAKUPS CAN HIT SO HARD

There’s a reason this hurts so much. When you bond deeply with someone, a breakup isn’t just about losing a partner. It can bring up:

  • Past pain from childhood or previous relationships

  • Parts of you that feel abandoned, rejected or unlovable

  • An identity crisis, especially if the relationship shaped how you saw yourself

  • Emotional flashbacks that feel bigger than this breakup alone

  • Guilt or shame about how things ended, or how you showed up

If you’re sensitive or a deep thinker, you may also process breakups in a more intense, slower, or less linear way. You might feel stuck in thoughts like:

  • “What if I never find a connection like that again?”

  • “Was it my fault?”

  • “Why can’t I just move on like everyone else?”

WHAT BREAKUP RECOVERY THERAPY LOOKS LIKE

I offer therapy that honours your sensitivity, your grief, and your system’s unique way of making meaning. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we work with the different parts of you that have been affected by the breakup:

  • The one who misses them

  • The one who’s angry

  • The one who regrets everything

  • The one who secretly hopes they’ll come back

  • The one who wants to protect you from ever feeling this again

You’ll learn how to build a relationship with each of these parts, so you don’t feel pulled in opposite directions or overwhelmed by emotional waves. I won’t push you to “move on”. Instead, we’ll move through by being with your parts. You can learn more about IFS here.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO SHIFT OVER TIME

Breakup recovery is not a quick fix, but clients often share that they experience:

  • A more grounded sense of closure, even if you never got answers from your ex

  • Less mental looping and obsessive thoughts

  • A deeper understanding of your relational patterns

  • Relief from guilt, shame, or blame

  • A growing connection with your inner world and what you truly want

You might even find that this heartbreak becomes a pathway towards something meaningful – not because you “had to suffer to grow,” but because you stayed with yourself through the pain.

Online IFS therapy for breakup recovery

THIS MIGHT BE FOR YOU IF:

  • You feel like this breakup has hit harder than it should

  • You’re tired of friends saying “just move on” or giving advice you didn’t ask for

  • You want to understand why this hurts so much, and why it’s brought up so many old feelings

  • You’re scared of repeating the same patterns again

  • You’re ready to process this at a deeper level, with someone who gets it

A NOTE ON MY APPROACH

I work with people in Sweden, the UK, the Nordics and rest of the world who identify as sensitive, neurodivergent, introspective, or simply wired a little differently.

If that’s you, you’ll probably feel at home here, where you’re invited to show up as you are and meet your inner experience without pressure or expectation.

READY TO START?

If you're feeling the grief of a breakup and want a place to land — to feel, process, and begin to come back to yourself — I’d love to hear from you.

 FAQs

  • It varies depending on your situation and what comes up during therapy. Some people start feeling more grounded within a few months, while others choose to work longer-term to deeply explore relational patterns and attachment wounds. We'll move at a pace that respects your process.

  • Absolutely not. Therapy is here to support you while you're still feeling the full range of emotions: love, longing, anger, sadness, confusion. You don't have to "be done" with anything to start.

  • That’s something we can explore together without judgment. Parts of you may hold different hopes and fears, and therapy can help you get clearer on what your whole system truly needs, rather than making a pressured decision.

  • Many of my clients have done previous therapy. IFS brings a different lens: instead of just talking about the breakup or analysing it intellectually, we will get to know the parts of you that hold deep emotions and beliefs about love and relationships. This can often bring a deeper level of healing.

  • Yes. I welcome clients of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures. I have extensive experience working with people who are queer and/or non-monogamous.

  • Of course. While I specialise in supporting sensitive and neurodivergent people, you don't need any specific identity or label to seek support here. If you resonate with the way I work, you’re welcome.
