Collaborative Practice and mediation offer separating couples a respectful alternative to court. Even so, the process can be hard. Meetings can stir up anger, grief or fear, and it’s difficult to think clearly about your future, or your children’s, when you feel flooded.
Support Through Collaborative Divorce & Mediation
I offer individual therapy alongside your process, so you can show up to each meeting calmer and clearer. Together we can work on:
- Preparing for difficult conversations and meetings
- Understanding the reactions that take over under stress, using Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Grieving the end of your relationship while still making sound decisions
- Keeping your children’s wellbeing at the centre
Why my background helps. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist and an Accredited Family Mediator (OAFM), and I work in Collaborative Practice as a Family Professional and Trainer/Coach. I know how these processes unfold and where people tend to get stuck.
My role. I’m not part of your collaborative team, and I don’t act as your mediator. Our sessions are confidential therapy, just for you.
