I am interested in family rights: and these rights need to be protected at separation. Our children need to be kept safe, and parents and wider family to be supported in resolving conflict about parenting.
I am specialised in working with high conflict family issues with a child focus/child inclusive therapeutic mediation.
The resist/refuse and parental alienation dynamic is a significant area of concern for many families.Support and facts are provided for confidential on line group work.
Understanding what might be happening, and how best to sort it out, is an area of specialised work I can deliver at cost via on line meetings and groups.
Evidence based articles and information are available.
Being a parent in a blended family
With a new partner, the blended family can sometimes become quite complex. Children can become very reactive to the multiple changes and there may also be step or half siblings in the mix. Step parents can find parenting challenging. Some parents feel very caught between their partner and their child.
There is a lot of research out there about offering parents ways of managing the difficulties in this context.
Parental alienation
There is a lot to say on this topic, which ranges from a child becoming resistant to one parent, through to full alienation.Before we rush to assume the worst, we need to be clear about where high conflict between parents is a factor.
Understanding the situation helps manage the anxiety and pain, and parents need and deserve support and access to resources and current research.
Managing adult conflict
This course for individuals who find themselves caught in intractable conflict operates on a small group basis and investigates the roots of conflict, resentment, shame and resilience. It examines significant strategies for improved communication as well as an evaluation of historical triggers and the role of self conflict.
