Are you co-parenting, an ex husband/wife or partner,and trying to work out a fair
Parenting Agreement?
Separation is hard at the best of times. But it can be a lot harder when there are children involved.
Reaching a fair Parenting Agreement can be one of the most difficult things to achieve after separation as you are dealing with the lives, routines and the futures of your family and yourselves. It can be an emotionally and financially challenging time for all parents.
I have experience in helping parents come to a healthy Agreement around co-parenting their children in a respectful manner. A Counsellor is there to help families achieve successful Parenting Agreements. Counsellors will work with couples to talk through the hard stuff – which is usually emotional and can sometimes be fuelled by hurt and disappointment as issues relating to the relationship breakdown are sometimes still raw.
When working out a Parenting Agreement, it sometimes helps for couples to meet with a Counsellor individually in the first instance in order to establish what each parent’s specific needs are.
Following the initial meeting, the next step is to present the two sometimes differing needs to both parents and to then find a respectful way to blend them together so that each parent has a fair and reasonable input into future parenting and decision making choices for their children.
Ultimately, the Parenting Agreement needs to be designed with the best intentions for the children first and foremost.
If you are currently going through a separation and are trying to create a workable Parenting Agreement with your former partner, you will find that I am a calming person to talk with.
I take to the approach of being unbiased and will listen to what your requirements are.
My aim is to facilitate these conversations and agreements in a relaxed counselling environment that provides a positive result for ALL members of the family.
