Relate
Relate counselling can help you save your relationship if it’s not too late but can also help it in the best way possible or pick up the emotional pieces after it has ended. A Relate counsellor can also help you work out how best to help the children and, by giving you emotional support, help you have more attention to spare for how the children are feeling. As well as offering counselling, face-to-face, by phone or email, Relate run a special course called Parents Apart for couples who have separated but want to learn how to get along for the sake of their children, and some centres offer mediation.

Mediation
We can help you and your partner negotiate the best arrangements for your children and protect the children from your conflict. They can be especially helpful if in all other respects you and your former partner are at war. As explained, some Relate centres offer mediation, but mediation can be found in different settings all-round the country often via solicitors. Contact the National Family Mediation Helpline for details of how they can help you and local mediation services.
