Post Separation Counselling and Family Dispute Resolution

Post Separation Counselling

 

Sessions with individuals or both former partners may be possible. This will depend on your circumstances and your goals.

 

The process is invaluable for parents who want to protect their children from conflict, while navigating separation. Treatment typically moves through three stages.

​

1.    Grief and recovery

2.    Achieving clear, conflict free communication and establishing shared parenting

3.    Setting up two happy homes
