Affairs...

An affair is often a symptom—not just the cause—of deeper issues within a relationship or an individual. It may signal emotional disconnection, unmet needs, unresolved conflict, or personal struggles like low self-worth or a desire for validation. It is frequently a sign of some deterioration in speaking with our partner openly about our life goals, our emotional, material and sexual needs, and a lack of understanding of our partner’s needs.

Whilst the betrayal of trust is painful and serious, understanding the “why” behind the affair can be an important step toward healing. In therapy, we gently explore these underlying dynamics to support honest reflection, repair, and renewed connection.
