How can counselling help us if we have already decided to part or divorce?

Ending a relationship is a difficult and often painful thing to do, especially if you have children.  Counselling can help you to work through the process of ending things in a way that supports you both.  Couple counselling isn't intended to steer you in any direction, it is about making it easier for you to explore any important issues that have come up and to understand each other. This will mean that you can make a good emotional ending for the relationship, as well as negotiate practicalities like co-parenting, division of property and possessions with a collaborative approach.
