Divorce Counseling

It is as we all know, sometimes a marriage does not last, and for some, it can be a relief, yet it can also be a very stressful time. The partner who ultimately decides to end the relationship can also feel many emotions which can lead to painful feelings like confusion, grief, shame and anxiety to name but a few.

If children happen to be involved, these emotions and levels of stress tend to be much higher when going through a divorce.

It is often, people may seek counseling to help them actually leave the relationship or try to save the marriage, whilst others may seek therapy to help them adjust to the single life again. Whatever the ultimate goal, these can be helped by couple’s therapy or individual therapy sessions.
