Hi everyone, I'm 2.5 weeks in to this horrible situation. I've left my partner of 5 years but grieving for my life as I knew it. The heartbreak, betrayal, dishonesty homesickness - I need some professional help. I found who I think is a good counsellor but they are on leave and can't start for a month. Please can anyone suggest who I can talk to until then?
Hi Karina
big hugs to you. I can't recommend anyone but wanted to say so sorry you are here x it's four months for me. Still grieving. The first few weeks are horrific. Do you have anyone close you can disclose to for support, any trusted friends? Have you called the helpline x I haven't seen my parter since he was arrested, I felt instantly bereaved, I can empathise with what you are going through and feeling x I hope you can find some strength and comfort that it will get better xx

I suggest doing the self referral on the Stop SO website, they put me straight in touch with a counsellor within a few days and although I've since had to wait a while to get a second appointment that was just down to her availability. You could just ask for someone who has quick availability. I'm also considering contacting the Act Fast charity as they seem to offer some counselling and my one is otherwise really expensive. I feel like you though that I just need it so urgently, I'm 4 weeks post knock and still reeling. Take care xx
Please, I don't know the jargon. What is Stop SO and circles and how do I contact them??
I was just given the stop it now leaflet and the helpline always seems to be closed.
Thanks in anticipation xxx

The circles ones can be difficult to find, because they have so many websites, Circles South East, Circles South West, Circles UK etc.

Not all services are available in all parts of the country. It is a bit hit and miss.
