Separated & Blended Family Therapy

The separation of a family can be one of the most difficult experiences a parent or child may face. Separation, divorce, and navigating the Family Law Court can be incredibly stressful, affecting every family member involved.

At Hills Relationship Centre, we understand that each family is unique, and separated or blended families often face their own set of challenges. Our goal is to work closely with every family member, offering support and understanding to help you navigate these complexities.

Separated Family Therapy can provide support to both parents and children, helping them manage their emotions and adjust to the changes that come with separation or divorce. This therapy is especially valuable for those navigating the transition from partners to co-parents. It’s also beneficial for those seeking reportable family therapy or who have been directed by the Court to attend family therapy.

Blended Family Therapy aims to ensure every family member feels heard and supported. It can assist in adjusting to new dynamics or living arrangements, understanding the intricacies of blended family life, and overcoming the unique challenges that may arise. This therapy is especially valuable for those struggling to blend, facing difficulties in step-parenting, or navigating high-conflict co-parenting situations.

At Hills Relationship Centre, we're here to help your family find a path forward, with compassion and understanding at every step.

What makes us different?

The team at Hills Relationship Centre are all experienced, qualified and registered counsellors, who have comprehensive training in family therapy and experience working with court-mandated referrals and families who have been or are currently going through Family Law Court. Our family therapists have extensive knowledge of issues specific to separation and divorce, child development and welfare, parenting matters, family systems and trauma. When you work with us, you can be assured that you are working with those who are considered experts in their field. We have taken our counselling backgrounds and created a unique blend of counselling that is a little more robust and practical than traditional therapy, to help you achieve your counselling goals faster. We use a mixture of counselling techniques, psychoeducation and practical exercises which are specifically tailored to your situation.

We do not take a one size fits all approach to family therapy. Our education and clinical work provides us with a vast amount of knowledge and experience to draw upon. We are person centered and solution focused, and believe in evidence-based science, data and interventions. What that means is that we don't just talk, we also provide feedback and insights, offer suggestions and help you find solutions.

At Hills Relationship Centre, we embrace diversity and family in all its forms, and welcome all cultures & gender, sexual and relationship diversities (GSRD). We love working with all kinds of families, whether same sex, opposite sex, single parent families, polygamous families, blended families, foster families, as well as families with mental health issues and/or special/complex needs. Please know that you are wholeheartedly welcome at Hills Relationship Centre.
