Divorce Recovery

Divorce is never easy. Even when a couple agrees to terminate their marriage, it hurts to separate. In divorce recovery, counselling assists the client to understand and cope with the strong feelings that can arise before, during and after a divorce. Divorce recovery therapy may help with the:

  • major changes as the result of a divorce
  • emotional process of the divorce
