Consultancy Work with Legal Professionals

We provide support to solicitors who are struggling with clients and have reached an impasse with them. We visit lawyers at their offices and bring ideas, looking at the situation from a relationship psychology point of view, and suggest alternative approaches that might not have been tried or considered.

We can now offer training on working with high conflict clients. Here are some of the aims of our 2-day workshop:

• To comprehend how relationships break down, and how this can impact on clients forming good co-parenting relationships
• To learn about types of co-parenting relationship
• To gain a more in-depth understanding of conflict and how it can affect your work with clients
• To understand more about blame and its effects on you and the couple in high conflict
• How to recognise enmeshment and manipulation
• To develop a deeper understanding of communication and how to navigate good communication when working with high conflict.

We can also attend ‘round table’ meetings to support legal professionals.

Workshop for Clients

Together Apart Client Workshop

A two-hour workshop for people going through separation and divorce.

Solicitors can refer clients, who are about to initiate divorce or separation proceedings, to our ‘Together Apart’ (client) workshop. The workshop’s primary focus is to guide people to a ‘healthier’ divorce and reduce emotional damage to any children involved.

It provides understanding of the process of divorce from a relationship psychology viewpoint with a focus on improving communication, reducing conflict, promoting mediation at a more beneficial stage in the process and reducing the possibility of the case going to court.
