Breakup support

Healing doesn’t have to happen alone.

Navigate heartbreak, rediscover yourself and move forward with a guided workbook that stays with you from the first hard days to feeling ready for a new relationship.

One workbook for every phase.

Heartbreak doesn’t follow a straight line, so the workbook doesn’t either. It turns tools from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), DBT skills and attachment research into small exercises you can do at your own pace.

  • Days 1 to 21

    Get through the hardest days

    A gentle day-by-day path for the rawest weeks. Look after the basics, ride out the urge to reach out, make a contact plan and separate painful facts from the stories your mind adds. CBT and EFT help you name what you feel and choose one small step.

  • The months after

    Make sense of what happened

    Step out of the replay loop, see the whole relationship rather than only the best or worst bits, and grieve the future you imagined. Check-ins around day 30, 60 and 90 help you keep what works and change what doesn’t.

  • Moving on

    Get ready for something new

    Understand your patterns, trust your own judgement again and rediscover who you are. When you’re ready to meet someone new, you’ll know what you want, what you need and what to look out for.
