Creating a Safe Environment
We foster a supportive atmosphere where parents can feel comfortable sharing their emotions. This safe space is essential for honest dialogue, allowing for a deeper understanding of each parent’s perspective.
Addressing Resentment and Hurt

We guide parents in articulating their feelings of resentment and hurt constructively. By recognising and processing these emotions, you can begin to heal and move forward.
​
Focusing on Children's Needs and Parenting Support.
​
​We help parents gain insight into the effects of separation on their children, emphasising the importance of how, what, and when information is communicated to them. Understanding children’s behaviors and common reactions is crucial, and we provide strategies for effectively handling these dynamics. By facilitating meaningful conversations and teaching effective communication skills, we empower parents to navigate this difficult time with empathy and understanding, promoting healing and healthier relationships for the entire family.
