Child contact and access problems can be very stressful. The impact emotionally and financially can be significant and children are often the victims.

 

The emotional impact and strain can affect a parents ability to work through the challenges this presents. The system can seem bewildering and hostile to parents trying to maintain a relationship with children. This can lead to:

 Frustration, anger, difficulty working with the local authority, the court, Cafcass etc. This often makes the situation worse. In some cases this can lead to emotional break down and giving up.

Effectiveness

Key here is my understanding of the system and ability to relate to clients struggling with these issues. Typically support and guidance work will include help with: effective communication, assertiveness, to help avoid passive and agressive responses, helping clients understand the role of emotions and the way they think about situations, using elements of CBT. When apropriate the input can include work with the other parent and shuttle mediation, including mediating e mail communication. My many years experience of providing parenting advice, enables me to guide either or both parents in this area, with the aim of promoting united parenting. The ability to work creatively and flexibly with all the above, within the boundaries of the legal and child protection system is what makes this service comprehesive and effective.
