Mediation and counselling gives you the time and space to think and talk openly about what you want moving forward for yourself and your children.
Family separations can be extremely stressful and difficult times for both parents and children. Sometimes people need immediate support to cope with the stress of a recent separation, and sometimes people can find they are struggling with emotional distress, conflict, and cycles of poor communication that last for years. If you are dealing with the emotional fallout of a separation, ongoing conflict over living arrangements, parenting time, child support, or other parenting concerns, I can help give you the time and space to think and talk openly about what you want moving forward and help you make a plan for how to get there.

I believe the most important relationship we’ll ever have is with ourselves. When we experience trauma, how we view our world, self & others, changes. Even after the trauma has passed, our minds make us believe we are still in danger which makes it difficult to feel calm. Trauma causes intrusive thoughts, cognitive distortions, flashbacks & nightmares, which can lead to depression, anxiety, avoidance & maladaptive coping strategies including substance misuse. Feeling overwhelmed & managing intense emotions can be difficult. If this sounds like you, I am interested in working with you to heal past wounds & regain a sense of control.
