Positive Parenting through Separation and Divorce
Helping your child feel secure, deeply loved and able to thrive across two homes
Your family is changing, and it can feel overwhelming. Perhaps your biggest worry is what the separation will mean for your children and whether they'll be okay. You may wonder about what to say, how to support them, and how to manage your relationship with your co-parent. You can’t make every part of separation easy or take away every difficult feeling. But there is lots we can do to help. With the right guidance, you can support your unique child and help them feel safe, deeply loved and secure as your family finds a new way forward.
I’m Heather, a parenting consultant, certified parenting educator, co-parenting specialist and mum to three young adults. I help separating parents understand their children's needs and deepen their relationship with them as they navigate parenting across two homes with greater clarity, calm and confidence.
My approach is child-first and focuses on the experience you want your children to have of their parents’ separation and what you can do to help create it. This includes learning how to manage disagreements, communicate calmly and set healthy boundaries, because protecting children from adult tension is an important part of helping them feel secure.
I also support professionals who work with separating families.
For Parents
Separation changes your family, but it doesn’t end it. With calm, connected parenting, you can provide your children with the security, love, and guidance they need to thrive.
Through individual coaching and courses, and the six core principles of our Parenting Partnership Process, you’ll learn how to:
- Build strong, secure connections with your children
- Understand and respond to their changing needs (from toddlers to teens)
- Build a workable relationship with your co-parent, with boundaries and clear communication, that protects your children from adult disagreements
- Create an environment where your children feel safe, seen, and supported, and your family thrives
Two Homes: One Childhood
For Professionals (Lawyers, Mediators & Practitioners)
Supporting separating families means more than resolving legal and practical issues — it means safeguarding children’s emotional well-being. I provide workshops and talks that equip professionals with:
- Research-based insights on children’s needs through divorce
- Practical tools to share with clients to reduce parental conflict and stress
- Strategies for guiding parents toward child-focused, cooperative co-parenting
