Then rebuilding t](/assets/infidelity-1-COJcB8SS.webp) If you have recently discovered your partner has been having an affair, you will know how painful and confusing it can feel. It is not only the betrayal that needs processing, but also the **loss of trust** and the sense of security you once felt in the relationship. At times like this, the emotional impact can feel overwhelming. Feelings such as shock, confusion, anger and sadness are very common, and many people struggle to make sense of what has happened or what to do next. Our experienced online therapists understand how complex infidelity can be. We provide a safe and confidential space where you can talk openly about what has happened, ask questions, and begin working through the impact of the affair together. ## Understanding Why an Affair Happened Affairs rarely have a single cause, and they do not always happen because a relationship is unhappy. Understanding the circumstances that led to the affair can help couples begin making sense of what has happened. Sometimes an affair develops in a relationship where certain needs, feelings or problems have gone unspoken for some time. Exploring these factors can be difficult, particularly for the partner who feels hurt or betrayed. Many couples seek counselling after discovering an affair because they need support in processing what has happened. Without support, the pain and loss of trust can linger for years and continue to affect the relationship. ## Online Affair Recovery Our experienced therapists will help you explore what may have been happening in your relationship before the affair occurred. Understanding the factors that contributed to the situation can help both partners begin making sense of what has happened. These conversations can be difficult, but they often help couples gain clarity about what went wrong and what may need to change moving forward. Counselling can also help the partner who had the affair reflect on what they were searching for outside the relationship and understand the impact this has had. Only you can decide what you would like to do after an affair, and whatever you decide is rarely simple. Affairs can place enormous strain on a relationship, but they can also create an opportunity to reflect, rebuild understanding, and decide what the future might look like. ### Ready to talk?
