Divorce Counselling
Assisting with the Impacts of Separation & Divorce
Help and Guidance for Each Step of the Process
Divorce or separation is often one of the most challenging times in a person’s life. The process can be stressful and overwhelming with uncertainty about the future. During a separation or divorce, a person can lose their sense of self, safety, and security which can lead to anxiety and depression.
Counselling can provide a safe space to talk about your thoughts and feelings and teaches the tools you need to make sound decisions, especially when children are involved. Mediation and alternative dispute resolution services can assist two parents in reaching agreements on issues in dispute. Assessment can help to determine the strengths and weaknesses of an individual’s parenting, provide the view of a child in a neutral manner, and ultimately assist parenting in reaching resolutions that are in the best interests of the child or children.
