Does a continuous function embed a separable space into a separable closed subspace?

Suppose that $X$ is a topological space and $Y$ is a normed vector space, and $f:Xrightarrow Y$ is continuous.



In general we know that if $X$ is separable, then the image $f[X]$ will be separable in $Y$. Does it then follow that there exists a closed subspace $Y_0$ of $Y$ which is separable and contains the $f[X]$?



(Basically I am asking this question with an eye towards the Pettis measurability criterion from Bochner integration.)

          There is a closed (separable) subset of $Y$ that contains $f[X]$ namely $overline{f[X]}$.



          The closure of a separable subspace is still separable.
