Ending counselling: how to deal with it?

I've had my counsellor for 3 years now, and she's been great, particularly with understanding my autism and how I think and see the world.

However, she can't work with me anymore because her schedule is changing.

I've not taken the news well. I find myself wanting to email her for reassurance even though our professional relationship is over. Does anyone have any advice for dealing with this?

Was she aware that you were anxious about this change? What has she done to prepare you for it?

3yrs is a long time to have the same counsellor and to suddenly lose them.

Yes it was! It seems that she had some idea that it might be anxiety provoking for me, but I certainly could have done with a lot more time and advice on how to mentally prepare for it. I think her stance is that I was going to be anxious regardless of how much time she gave me to prepare. I had about one month's notice
