Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about counselling, mediation, parenting coordination and support for separated families.
Every family’s situation is different. Some people need a safe space
to process emotions, while others are looking to resolve conflict or
improve co-parenting after separation. If you’re unsure, get in touch.
We’ll take the time to understand your circumstances and recommend the
service that’s most likely to support your goals.
Mediation is about reaching an agreement, while Parenting Coordination
helps make an existing agreement or court order work in real life.
Not sure whether you need counselling, mediation, or Parenting
Coordination? That’s okay. We can discuss your situation and help you
determine which service is the best fit for your needs.
No. Many people seek support before problems escalate. Whether you’re
navigating a major life transition, experiencing ongoing conflict, or
simply looking for guidance, support is available.
Yes. Sessions are available both online and in person, making it
easier to access support wherever you’re located.
Your privacy is important. Counselling sessions are confidential,
with some legal and ethical exceptions relating to safety or mandatory
reporting. If you’re attending mediation or Parenting Coordination,
confidentiality and information sharing will be explained before you begin.
Counselling can support you through separation, relationship challenges,
parenting concerns, anxiety, grief, family conflict, stress and
significant life transitions.
Absolutely. You don’t need to attend with a partner or family member.
Individual counselling can help you gain clarity, build resilience and
develop practical strategies for moving forward.
Mediation provides a neutral, structured environment where both parties
can discuss concerns, explore options and work towards practical
agreements with the support of an impartial mediator.
No. The goal is to help you make progress where possible. Even partial
agreements can reduce conflict and provide a stronger foundation for
future discussions.
Parenting Coordination is an ongoing process that helps separated
parents manage conflict, improve communication and implement parenting
agreements in day-to-day life. The focus is always on supporting
children’s wellbeing.
Mediation helps parents reach agreements. Parenting Coordination
provides ongoing support to help parents implement those agreements,
navigate new challenges and reduce future conflict.
It’s often most beneficial for families experiencing ongoing conflict,
but it can also help parents who want structured support as they
establish healthier co-parenting patterns.
No referral is required. You can contact TruePath Parenting directly
