Whatever you are feeling about it is valid, and worth bringing.
Whether the decision was yours, mutual, or landed on you.
Maybe this is you
One hour you feel clear, the next you do not recognise your own life
Still working out whether this is really happening
The legal process has moved on, but the feelings have not caught up
Separating, and wanting to do it with less harm, especially for the children
For individuals at any stage, and for couples separating who still need a working co-parenting relationship.
What you may be after
You might be carrying
Grief at the loss of the relationship
Fear about what comes next
Anger, relief and guilt, sometimes all at once
Confusion about who you are outside the partnership
Worry for your children
The sheer effort of rebuilding
None of these need explaining or justifying before you start.
What happens
Reach out. A WhatsApp is the easiest first step.
First session, where you are. We understand where you are and what you need.
Your pace. There is no programme to follow and no expected rate of progress.
Sessions are one to one, or for separation support, two people together.
The practical facts
There is a place for this here.
