At the time of separation or divorce many parents become angry, depressed and unclear what to do for the best. There are often differences with the other parent over the arrangements for the children, property or financial matters. It's easy to feel alone feel alone and friendless when a relationship ends.

It's good to talk to someone who can listen and provide you with support without taking sides. The Adult Counselling Service has been created to provide skilled help for parents at a time of family crisis. Adult Counselling offers counselling for individuals and couples on a time-limited basis. Normally a maximum of 6 to 8 sessions is provided. There is no waiting list.

Fees/ costs may vary, however, reduced means-assessed rates are usually available for those on low incomes  and/or benefits.
