Counselling for infidelity… what advice/support we’re you given?

I’m on a waiting list for some counselling.
I’d just like to know if your partner has had an affair/been unfaithful and you’ve had counselling. What advice was you given to help you cope?
Did you have counselling and stay in the relationship?
Did they give you any coping mechanisms to get over what happened?
If you stayed did it help in you trusting your partner and feeling better about yourself?

Are you having counselling to save the relationship? Or for you to help you end the relationship? Is your partner willing to have therapy? Individual and couples? If no why are you putting the effort into saving the relationship if he’s not?

It depends entirely on what sort of therapy you are getting.
I needed counselling to deal with the massive trauma my dickhead ex dumped on me when he decided to let me discover his constant infidelities after the relationship ended.

Then I had more counselling to improve my self esteem, boundaries etc.

I can't see any counselling helping you trust a man who hurt you as that is the opposite of what it's there for, his actions are what will lead to you trusting him or not, it will likely help you find the strength to expect better for yourself though.
