Separation & Divorce

The breakup of a long-term Relationship or a Marriage, will cause a lot of emotional pain, sadness, stress, and grief.

Finding a roadmap out of these difficulties, is fraught with danger and sometimes, getting some support from a Counsellor who has experienced some of these life situations, is a good solution to help you to navigate a journey that impacts the family and the wider family.

The truth is separation and divorce, regardless of how amiable it is can be, is a highly stressful life - changing event. The stress and the un-suspecting outcomes can be very challenging and most people don’t know where to start, as naturally, this is for most a completely new experience that has turned their lives upside down.

Trying to get your head around the legal, emotional, and logistical issues, that have to be addressed, can be overpowering. Also trying to see yourself in a new life and trying to make that happen can feel paralyzing.

Counselling can help you through this very challenging and painful time in your life. The emotional triggers of fear, anxiety, anger, resentment, can sabotage weeks, months, and even years of happiness. Finding the solutions to navigate, these very difficult life changing experiences, with dignity requires a lot of help. But the payoff for everyone within the family circle is life changing.

In fact, finding a dignified path, in an undignified space, creates a new roadmap for the journey ahead, it can transfer on to the children, that are part of the fallout from this very difficult phase in their lives.

The key component that binds the new life ahead, is to foster good communication between each other, and not to use the children as pawns in this unsavory episode of change for everybody.

Working with a Counsellor can help you to strengthen your conflict resolution skills, so that small disagreements, don’t blow up into catastrophic arguments.

The Counselling process can help you to claim back your self-esteem, and self - confidence, and to accept your present reality, so that you can take back control of your life and feel good about yourself again.
