About us
 

We are a well-established, local and experienced Team who specialise in supporting families in resolving various levels of conflict impacting negatively on their relationships and limiting children's access to their parents/ grandparents/ siblings. We promote and nurture healthy, safe and lifelong family relationships.

Our team has local knowledge, specialist training and a proven track record in working with conflict, separation, mental health issues and drug and alcohol misuse. As well as a thorough understanding of the distress and challenges that separation can cause.​

Adjusting to big changes, such as establishing
and agreeing to a new
co-parenting routine
and prioritising the needs of the child/children can be overwhelming especially where communication is fragile due to underlying or established conflict.

 

Our team has been working together for over 13 years, specialising in separation and the impact it has on families. Originally employed by the charity Families' House, we later continued our work under Break Charity. From there, we have since evolved into an independent Community Interest Company, allowing us to build on our experience and continue supporting families in a more focused and sustainable way.

​

The team have a combined experience of over 50 years working with children and families across a variety of settings. We are qualified to post-degree level in relevant fields, bringing a strong foundation of professional expertise and a deep commitment to the well-being of those we support.
