Sea Change Therapy & Coaching

Valentine’s Day is marketed as proof of love.

Real love is shown in consistency, respect and emotional safety.

If today feels exposing, let it be clarifying rather than condemning.

Valentine’s Day can amplify whatever is unresolved.

Even if you have been coping well, this date can catch you off guard. If it feels heavier than you expected, that is a normal response to loss and change.

Even when a relationship was not right, its absence can still hurt.

Missing what you had does not mean you want it back. It means you are adjusting to change.

I've written a book...📖

Over the past year, alongside my client work at Sea Change, I’ve been writing a book for the people I sit with every week.

The ones who are still showing up at work.
Still holding everything together at home.
Still leading teams and making decisions that matter.
While privately feeling overwhelmed.

The book is called:

One Page at a Time
Small Steps to Heal Your Heart and Clear Your Mind

It’s written for people navigating breakup or divorce who need structured emotional support - not quick fixes or forced positivity.

When a relationship ends, it rarely stays neatly contained.

Focus dips.
Confidence wobbles.
Decision-making feels harder.
Your sense of identity can shift.

And yet you’re still expected to keep going.

This book acknowledges that reality.

Through short reflections, prompts, affirmations and practical coaching techniques, it helps you:

• Reduce emotional overwhelm
• Stabilise your inner world
• Regain clearer thinking
• Move forward in small, deliberate steps

You don’t have to read it cover to cover. Each page stands alone, so you can open it when concentration is limited or emotions feel intense.

If it feels useful, you can find it here:

📘 Paperback £9.99 (inc postage)
📱 E-book on Amazon £3.99

(Links are in the comments.)

And if you don’t need it yourself right now, you may know someone who is holding it together on the outside but struggling underneath. If so, please feel free to pass it on.

My work is about helping people steady their emotions, clarify their thinking, and take their next steps with confidence - without adding more pressure than they’re already carrying.

Valentine’s Day When Things Aren’t Right 💔

Valentine’s Day will soon be here, and to some it can feel insignificant.

Until you’re in the middle of a breakup.
Or questioning your relationship.
Or living with someone you’re no longer emotionally connected to.

Then it isn’t just another date.

It highlights what isn’t working.

If you’re newly single, this might be the first year without the routine - the message, the plan, the sense of being chosen.

If you’re still in a relationship but something feels off, the contrast can be uncomfortable.

If you’re sharing a home but not a connection, the day can feel false.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t create problems.
It exposes them.

You can be getting on with work.
Managing the children.
Keeping everything moving.

And still know, privately, that something isn’t right.

That’s not weakness.
It’s awareness.

Instead of asking, “Why is this getting to me?”
ask:

“What is this telling me about what I actually want?”

A date on the calendar doesn’t change your relationship.

But it can make the truth harder to ignore.

When They Leave You for a Friend 💔

There’s heartbreak.
And then there’s this.

When your partner leaves you for a close friend, it’s not just the relationship that ends.

You lose two people.
And often, your sense of safety with both of them.

That’s what makes this kind of betrayal so destabilising.

It isn’t just about love.
It’s about trust.

You may find yourself thinking:

How long was this happening?

Was I the only one who didn’t know?

Did everyone else see it before I did?

How did I miss it?

There can be embarrassment.
Comparison.
A sense of being replaced.

But the hardest part for many people isn’t the breakup itself.

It’s the self-doubt that follows.

You trusted them.
You trusted your friend.
You believed the boundaries were clear.

Now you’re questioning your own judgement.

And that loss of self-trust can linger long after the relationship ends.

Here’s what’s important:

Trust is not stupidity.
Expecting loyalty is not weakness.
Believing in people is not naïve.

Two people crossed a boundary.
That responsibility does not belong to you.

If this has happened to you, the work now isn’t about understanding why they did it.

It’s about rebuilding your trust in yourself.

And that is possible - slowly, deliberately, without becoming harder or more guarded than you want to be.

You don’t have to shrink because someone else lacked integrity.

I’ve published my book, One Page at a Time - for people dealing with the emotional impact of breakup or divorce while still needing to function at work, in business, and in daily life.

It’s for people who are getting up, showing up, and doing what’s expected of them, while privately carrying grief, emotional shock, or a deep sense of disorientation that doesn’t stop just because life has to continue.

For many, there’s little space to pause, reflect, or make sense of what’s happening, even though the choices made during this period can have lasting consequences.

One Page at a Time offers structured emotional support through short reflections, prompts, and practical techniques to help steady emotions, reduce overwhelm, and support clearer thinking at a time when clarity and certainty feel out of reach.

The book is now available in paperback for £9.99 (including postage) - whether for yourself, or for someone you care about who may be going through a difficult time.

Who in your world might be quietly struggling right now? 😞

If someone you know is going through a breakup or divorce - a friend, family member, colleague, or client - they don’t usually need advice or fixing.

They need calm, practical support from someone who understands how emotionally demanding separation can be, especially when life has to keep going.

This is the work I do.

I'm a professional Breakup & Divorce Coach, and I support people navigating one of the most traumatic experiences of their adult life, helping them find clarity, confidence, and direction.

If this brings someone to mind, you’re welcome to:
✍🏻 pass my name on
✍🏻 share this post privately
✍🏻 or simply let them know that specialist, confidential support exists

When Life is Disrupted by a Relationship Breakdown 💔

I’ve written a short guide called 'When Life is Disrupted by a Relationship Breakdown'.

In my work, I often see the early stages affecting people’s focus, decision-making, and everyday functioning in ways they don’t expect - even when they’re outwardly coping.

This guide doesn’t offer advice or tell anyone what to do. It simply explains what often happens early on, and why this period can feel so disorienting.

You may find it useful for yourself, or you may want to keep it in mind for someone else - a friend, colleague, or client - who’s going through a difficult time.

If it’s helpful, you’re welcome to download it or pass it on.

Children do not need to know the reasons behind the separation.

What they need is clarity and reassurance delivered in language they can understand.
