Ending counselling: how to deal with it?

Ang93

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?

  • Hiya,

    3 years is a long time. I have been through a similar experience. my 'counsellor' left her job so I couldn't have contact with her anymore which was devastating because she was the first person to ever really understand me. I don't know whether you could do a similar thing but I have been messaging her old phone number once a week to update her on what has been happening (sounds a bit strange but it has helped me). you could always message a random number what you want to say to your counsellor? only a suggestion. I am really sorry that you can't see your counsellor anymore.
