About us
We are a well-established, local and experienced Team who specialise in supporting families in resolving various levels of conflict impacting negatively on their relationships and limiting children's access to their parents/ grandparents/ siblings. We promote and nurture healthy, safe and lifelong family relationships.
Our team has local knowledge, specialist training and a proven track record in working with conflict, separation, mental health issues and drug and alcohol misuse. As well as a thorough understanding of the distress and challenges that separation can cause.​
Adjusting to big changes, such as establishing
and agreeing to a new co-parenting routine
and prioritising the needs of the child/children can be overwhelming especially where communication is fragile due to underlying or established conflict.
​The team have been together specialising in separation and the impact it has on families for over 13 years,
we were originally employed by the charity Families' House and more recently moved to Break Charity
and from there we have now evolved into
a Community Interest Company.
