Even when parents separate, they remain parents for ever. Our parenting therapist and counsellor is available to help you manage changes in the family so that your children go through them as gently as possible.
01How we can help you
- how to talk to your children about the separation – in a way that suits their age,
- how to establish workable communication with the other parent,
- how to draw up a practical care plan – alternation, public holidays, school holidays, school,
- how to manage the child's transitions between two homes,
- how to respond when a child rejects one of the parents or behaves differently than before,
- how to cope with a new relationship or a new family after separation.
02How it works
- Initial assessment – we find out where the family needs support most.
- Sessions with the counsellor – individually or together with the other parent, where possible.
- Linking with the legal solution – whatever the parents agree on, we can turn into a parenting agreement for the court to approve.
A child has the right to an equal relationship with both parents. We will help you refrain from anything that might disrupt that relationship.
03Frequently asked questions
- Does the other parent have to take part in the counselling?
- It is not a requirement. Joint sessions are beneficial, but we can also help you individually.
- Is it suitable even if we do not communicate with each other?
- That is exactly when it helps. The aim is to find at least a basic level of communication, which is essential for jointly caring for a child.
- Can the outcome also help in court?
- An agreement between parents is always better for a child than a court decision. If the parents agree, the court will usually approve the agreement and the proceedings are quicker.
