We had been to court, spent a fortune and still disagreed about what we thought our orders meant. Co-parenting coaching taught us how to find a way to parent despite the emotions - I wish we had done this earlier.

Co-Parenting Coaching
Assistance is given to allow a healthy, new
working relationship
Parents often find the emotions and conflict from their shared history continue to be a strong presence long after they have separated.
In order to minimise the potential negative effects of separation on children parents need to work together to manage conflict in their co-parenting relationship.
Through co-parenting coaching, assistance is given to allow a healthy, new working relationship to be established and maintained.
This occurs through both joint and individual sessions tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.
This service is appropriate for both newly separated parents and those who have been separated for a period of time, and continue to experience unresolved conflict.
When we first separated, even texting was difficult. Kate coached us in how to focus on the kids, not our anger or money issues. I would recommend coaching after separation - it just makes everything more manageable having someone to support you both.

My ex and I see Kate every year to review our co-parenting and if anything big comes up we can’t manage alone. As our kids have grown up, we have been able to adapt our approach and learnt to be flexible. Kate knows our history, and has helped us find a way to communicate that works for us and our boys.
