Support for mothers living apart from their children
A warm welcome to you. I am glad you have found my website because if you are like the many other women who live apart from your children, you will probably have felt like you were the only one at times!
You might live apart from your child because...
- You have been through divorce or a family breakdown
- You have lost residency or have shared residency
- You have chosen not to be a hands on, full time mum
- You have a court order which should allow you contact with your children but you don’t see them because of parental alienation, for cultural or religious reasons or your child has been abducted
- You are a grandmother who does not have access to your grandchild due to your daughter or son’s marriage or relationship breakup or
- Maybe you are a woman who needs support with divorce, separation or stepfamily problems from a therapist who understand the challenges women face in these situations
I am a specialist counsellor who has in depth knowledge and experience of supporting mothers apart from their children, and I hope to be able to be of help to you too.
Counselling
I offer counselling to mothers and grandmothers who live apart from their children for some or all of the time. without their children, helping them to come to terms with and manage difficult feelings such as loss, pain, guilt, shame, anger, trauma and rejection related to family breakdown, reorganisation and shared parenting.
Book
My self-help book, 'A Mother Apart: How to let go of guilt and find happiness living apart from your child’, provides empathy, non judgemental help and practical strategies to women struggling with their feelings, as they adjust and come to terms with no longer being a full-time, hands on mum.
