Romantic Breakup: Why Consulting a Psychologist Can Make All the Difference

Psychologist Luxembourg Romantic Breakup Apr 29, 2025

The end of a relationship can be one of the most overwhelming experiences in life. Sadness, confusion, loss of direction, loneliness… A painful breakup can trigger old wounds and create an emotional tsunami. If you are going through this difficult time, know that you are not alone. As a psychologist in Luxembourg, I offer therapeutic support that is respectful, compassionate, and science-based to help you navigate this challenging period.


Why is the pain so intense after a breakup?

An emotional separation, especially if it is sudden or unexpected, can lead to very intense psychological reactions: anxiety, insomnia, loss of appetite, diminished self-esteem, or even depressive symptoms. This is not “just sadness”: our brain reacts to a breakup as it would to trauma.

This is primarily explained by neurobiological mechanisms related to attachment, stress, and emotional regulation. The pain is real, and it is entirely legitimate to seek professional support.


Why should you consult a psychologist after a breakup?

Seeking a psychologist after a breakup is about taking care of yourself at the time when you need it the most. Here are some benefits of therapeutic support:

1. A safe space to express emotions

I offer you a secure environment to express what you are feeling, without judgment. Talking is already the first step toward healing.

2. Understanding what happened in the relationship

Together, we will explore the dynamics of the past relationship to highlight relational patterns, attachment wounds, unfulfilled needs, and expectations.

3. Regaining confidence in yourself

Therapy helps you rebuild your self-image, reconnect with your inner resources, and gain clarity on what you want moving forward.

4. Starting over on solid ground

My support aims to help you find meaning in your daily life, make sense of your story, and lay the foundations for a future relational life that aligns with your values.

How long does therapy after a breakup last?

There is no set duration. It depends on your personal history, your experiences, and your goals. Some people need just a few sessions, while others may require more in-depth support.

My Approach: Integrative, Science-Based, Human-Centered

I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology from the United Kingdom. I work with people undergoing difficult transitions.

I offer online consultations in French and English, tailored to expatriates, people living at a distance, or those who cannot or do not have time to travel, all while benefiting from flexible scheduling and confidentiality.

My approach is integrative and based on scientifically validated methods:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): to help you live with pain while moving toward what truly matters to you.
  • EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy): to work through attachment wounds and reconnect with yourself.
  • Somatic Experiencing®: to integrate bodily responses to stress or trauma.

I also draw on the latest research in trauma psychology, neuroscience, and emotional regulation. For me, empathetic listening goes hand in hand with scientific rigor.
