Over the years I have realised that there is a real need for co-parenting counselling, as I have dealt and see people/couples going through divorce everyday. It is not something to fear, it is in actual fact the best thing you can do for your children while you navigate a new way forward.
How does it work?
I help couples who have separated or divorced improve their communication and cooperation for the benefit of their children. I focus on fostering a functional child centred relationship by teaching effective conflict resolution, communication skills, and helping set healthy boundaries for the way forward. I do this in a structured, neutral setting that helps parents put their past issues aside and we focus on creating a stable environment where their children can thrive.
What do we do in Co-Parenting Counselling?
Improve communication:
I teach parents how to talk and listen to each other without hostility and to ensure they can discuss parenting matters effectively.
Reduce conflict:
I provide tools for resolving disagreements in a healthy, productive way, ensuring discussions focus on solutions rather than past grievances.
Prioritize the child’s well-being:
We shift the focus from the parents’ relationship to the emotional and psychological needs of the children.
Establish a co-parenting plan:
I help parents develop a shared strategy for raising their children that serves their best interests.
Set healthy boundaries:
Together we create clear guidelines and respect for each other’s roles, preventing intrusion and managing personal emotions appropriately.
Facilitate emotional healing:
I provide a space for parents to process their own feelings related to the separation, which helps them be more effective co-parents.
Testimonials
“Going through our Divorce was so much easier with the help from Ri, she helped and guided us through all the hard parts, and we actually realised we could agree on things!! We were both so nervous about everything, including how to navigate things with the kids especially. I appreciated Ri’s directness and honesty, but yet done is such a kind way. I would recommend anyone to use Ri while going through a Divorce, it made ours so much easier and we actually get on better now than before, happily Divorced, and best of all our kids are thriving!”
