Parents Apart -coparenting through separation

Separation can be a challenging time for families, and children often experience uncertainty, worry, or loyalty conflicts as parents adjust to living apart.

Parents Apart is a supportive, practical 3-hour online workshop designed to help parents navigate separation in a child-centred way. The focus is on reducing conflict, improving communication, and supporting children’s emotional wellbeing — whatever the circumstances.

The workshop is suitable for parents who are separated, separating, or considering separation, including parents of neurotypical and neurodivergent children. Co-parents attend separate sessions, creating a safe, neutral, and non-judgemental learning environment.

What to expect if you attend

• A confidential online session facilitated by experienced counsellors and mediators
• Clear, accessible guidance on children’s emotional responses to separation
• Practical strategies for calmer communication with your co-parent
• Support with routines, contact planning, and transitions between two homes
• Inclusive approaches that consider sensory needs and neurodiversity
• Short activities, optional discussion, and take-home tools you can use straight away

Participants leave with a personal parenting action plan, practical scripts for talking to children, and clear next steps for moving forward.

The workshop is delivered online and is available to parents across the UK.
