Affair recovery therapist, online worldwide
Discovery of an affair detonates everything: trust, memory, identity, the future you thought you had. Whatever you decide next deserves better than deciding it alone. I'm Shagoon Maurya, a registered counsellor and psychotherapist (ACA Level 2, PACFA), and I guide couples and individuals through affair recovery, online.
The early weeks after an affair comes to light are a trauma response: intrusive images, obsessive questions, rage and grief in alternating waves for the betrayed partner, and often shame, defensiveness and panic for the partner who strayed. Almost nothing said in that storm is said well, which is why structure helps so much.
As your affair recovery therapist I hold a process both of you can survive: honest answers without interrogation spirals, accountability without endless punishment, and, when you're ready, the deeper conversation about what the affair meant, because affairs are usually about the person who had them, not the worth of the person they hurt.
The road I walk with you
Stabilise the crisis
Managing disclosure, triggers and the obsessive question loops of the first weeks.
Truth with structure
What needs answering and what only wounds further, honesty that heals instead of re-traumatises.
Understand the why
The unmet needs, avoidance or entitlement underneath, insight that protects whatever you rebuild.
Rebuild or release
Whether you recommit or part, doing it deliberately, with dignity, as a decision and not a reaction.
Individuals welcome too
Not every partner will attend, and betrayed partners often need their own space first. I work with couples together and with individuals on either side of an affair, including the one who strayed and genuinely wants to understand why. If the marriage doesn't survive, my divorce recovery work continues the support.
An affair ends a marriage's innocence. Whether it ends the marriage is still a choice, and it deserves to be made well.
