Your relationship ended. Your parenting didn’t.
Counselling for parents raising children across two homes — together or separately.
Written by Elza Berk, Founder & registered counsellor · ASCHP WCW/271 · 20+ years’ clinical experience · Updated 28 September 2026
Co-parenting asks two people who could not stay together to cooperate on the most important thing in their lives. It is hard, especially when trust is broken, money is tight or there are new partners involved.
Children do best when they are protected from adult conflict. Counselling helps you communicate about the children more calmly, make agreements that last, and manage your own feelings when things get difficult.
Where one parent is controlling, abusive or unwilling to cooperate, we focus on protecting you and your children, and on parallel parenting that limits contact and conflict.
We help with
- Constant conflict over the children
- Communication that always escalates
- Handovers that upset everyone
- New partners and blended families
- Children caught in the middle
- A co-parent who won’t cooperate
You don’t need a diagnosis to reach out.
How we work with you.
Lower the conflict

Common questions
Can we attend together?
Yes, if it is safe. Joint co-parenting sessions can be very effective. Where there is abuse, we work with you individually.
Can you write court reports?
No. Our counselling is confidential support and we do not provide legal or custody assessments.
Can our children have counselling too?
Yes. Teens aged 13–17 can have sessions with guardian consent, and family sessions are available.
Your truth deserves to be heard.
Choose a counsellor who speaks your language and understands your world. Sessions are online, private and booked in minutes.
