If you're thinking of separating we are here to help. We have support services available to provide you with tailored care to meet your unique needs. We understand it is common to feel overwhelmed so to help consider where you're at, we've put together this quick guide to help you get there.

 

If You Want to Continue the Relationship...

If you believe the relationship has the potential to keep moving forward, couples counselling can be a highly beneficial place to start. Relationships take practice, and if you are both willing to be open and vulnerable new skills can be learnt to restore and enhance the connection you have built together. The beauty of couples counselling is that you have a safe space with an experienced counsellor to be open, as you learn how to best work together and move through any challenges.

 

Support for You...

Maintaining your own mental health is a priority wherever you are in your relationship. Building resilience is key to looking after yourself especially during times of change and will have positive flow-on effects for those around you including your children. We recommend speaking with one of our specialised counsellors who can provide expert advice and practical strategies to help you along this journey. We also have specialist support available if family and domestic violence is involved.

 

Support for Your Children...

Ensuring your children have access to professional support during times of upheaval and change gives them the opportunity to talk about how they are feeling and process their emotions in a safe and non-judgemental space. We offer counselling for young people in-person and online so your child has a place to go when they need to speak with someone.
