Child-Focused Parent Sessions

Practical, supportive sessions that help parents keep their children at the heart of every decision during and after separation.

What are Child-Focused Parent Sessions?

Child-Focused Parent Sessions give parents a calm, non-judgemental space to understand how separation and conflict can affect children, and what helps them feel safe and settled.

Sessions draw on child development and trauma-informed practice, and are tailored to your family. They can stand alone, or sit alongside mediation and other services.

Who it's for

Separated or separating parents and carers
Parents preparing for mediation or new arrangements
Families wanting to reduce conflict and support their children

Next steps

We agree on what's next, whether that's more sessions, mediation or other support.

Every family is different. The number and format of sessions is agreed together, based on what will be most helpful for you and your children.

Common questions

Do both parents need to attend?

Not necessarily. Sessions can be individual, and I'll talk with you about what will be most helpful for your family.

Can sessions be done online?

Yes. Sessions are available in person across the South West, or via telehealth anywhere in Victoria.

How many sessions will I need?

That depends on your needs and goals. We'll agree on a plan together at the start.
