Divorce & Separation
Support for parents, co-parenting and children through separation: a space for each person to be heard, and a calmer way forward for the whole family. In South Perth and online across Australia.
The end of a relationship can bring intense and mixed emotions. You, your children or the whole family might recognise some of these.
For separating parents, co-parents and their children.
Sadness, anger, guilt or confusion as a relationship ends, and finding a way through.
The same arguments spilling into parenting, and wanting decisions that do not turn into a fight.
Worrying about how your children are coping, and wanting their voice heard and their needs met.
Rediscovering who you are, your values and your future outside the relationship.
Changes to living arrangements, finances and routines that feel overwhelming.
When the relationship involved abuse or family violence, and safety and confidence need rebuilding.
A safe place to work through grief, anger and the emotional weight of separation.
Practical strategies to communicate, reduce conflict and put your children's needs first.
Giving children a voice in a safe way, so they feel heard rather than caught in the middle.
Rebuilding confidence, routines and a clearer sense of your future.
Support for separating parents and their children. Krasna and Ken work with adults; Nadia offers co-parenting and child-inclusive family support; Zaynab supports children and teens through the changes.

In person at our South Perth clinic (close to Como, Applecross, Victoria Park and Mount Pleasant) and online across Australia, including support for FIFO families and co-parents in different locations.
Book directly or send an enquiry. Tell us who needs support: you, your children, or the whole family.
We start with what is happening now, what you are hoping for, and who should be involved.
Individual, co-parenting or child-inclusive sessions, matched to what will help most.
Both are possible. Some parents attend individually, some co-parenting sessions work together, and child-inclusive sessions keep your children's voice at the centre. We help you choose what fits.
Yes. Zaynab and Nadia support children and teens, and child-inclusive work gives them a safe way to be heard without being put in the middle.
You are still welcome. Individual support can help you process the separation, steady your co-parenting, and decide on next steps.
No. We offer emotional and relational counselling, not legal mediation or family court reports. We can work alongside your legal or mediation process.
No referral is required. You can book directly online or get in touch with us to arrange a first conversation.
