Welcome to Divorce Support 

Divorce Support is a unique service set up by Charlotte Friedman to give those who are divorcing, separating or divorced, an opportunity to talk either in individual sessions or in small support groups of up to eight people about the emotional and psychological impact of their divorce.

If I choose to have individual sessions what can I expect? 
You can expect to talk about all the issues that are worrying you and causing you distress as a result of your separation.  You can come for one or a number of sessions and you can choose to join a group at any point if you think that would be a support for you.

'If I choose to join a group, what can I expect?' 
Our aim is to provide a confidential environment for you to discuss all your issues arising out of separation, and to hear others experiences.

'I feel like I am falling through a chasm'
While going through a divorce, there is little time to concentrate on helping yourself emotionally and psychologically.  Because your time is most likely to be taken up with litigation or mediation or simply arguing with your ex, the emotional 'fall out' can be overlooked. The group addresses this often neglected part of the divorce process.

'I am occupying too much of my friends time talking about my divorce'  
Often people feel that they are burdening their friends and family by talking too much and too often about their divorce. The group gives you a perfect place to talk about everything that's bothering you. 

'How will we manage to share the children?'
Everybody's instinct is to protect their children from the sharp edges of any conflict. The group will address your very pressing concerns about your children and help you come to terms with the changes in your family as you have known it.

'I still feel very hurt and unable to move on' 
It is hard to underestimate the pain and grief that comes with separation. Sometimes you can feel that even though you separated many months or even years ago, you have not been able to let go. The group aims to help you reach a point where you feel more independent and in control of your future.

'How will I adjust to a new lifestyle?' 
Our aim is to enable you to  look forward. Divorce may be an end but it can also be a new beginning.
