Divorce Therapy and Counselling at KMA Therapy
Separation and/or divorce can be a lengthy process, during which it is most important to keep the channels of communication wide open. The right divorce advice from appropriate professionals can help you to feel more comfortable and sane during this time of crisis. Communicating effectively when you are both emotional can seem at times impossible. However, remaining at the very least polite and cooperative is vital if you have children. You may be splitting up, but you are going to be parents the rest of your lives.
What is Divorce Therapy and Counselling?
Divorce and Separation counselors at KMA offering divorce counselling will help you to:
- understand normal reactions to stress and loss
- explore the possible reasons for the break-up
- understand what might be going on for you and your partner now
- communicate effectively with your partner
- help you to explore sources of support
- advice you of appropriate services
- identify and access your own personal resources
- communicate with the most important people in your life
- advice you on how to support the children
- facilitate re-engagement with each other if there is a glimmer of hope
- re-engage with life and find new meaning if there isn't
- 'normalise' feelings, thoughts and behaviours during this time of crisis
How does Divorce Counselling at KMA work?
Psychotherapy and Counselling here at KMA Therapy begins with a 30 minute consultation with our director, Kimberly Moffit, or one of our intake counsellors.
In these thirty minutes, we will ask important questions to determine the nature of the problem and the treatment approach needed. We’re also asking questions to get a better sense of your personalities. Here at KMA, we believe it’s very important that your counselor is the ‘right fit. The consultation is also a wonderful time to address any questions you may have.
At the end of the consultation we will set you up with a customized ‘plan of action’ – this includes the recommended divorce/separation counselor who is best equipped to suit your needs, the expected duration of therapy (if applicable), and a recommendation for any additional testing or psychological services we feel would be helpful.
The fee for 30 minute consultations is $120 and this is usually covered by your workplace benefits package.
All subsequent sessions are 50 minutes in duration.
