Support For Every Stage Of Separation Or Divorce

Divorce, the ending of a marriage, can be one of the most emotionally challenging experiences families face. Whether you're just beginning to consider separation, in the middle of legal proceedings, or adjusting to life post-divorce, our counselling services are here to support you. At every stage, you may face uncertainty, grief, anger, anxiety and/or confusion—these are normal responses, and you don't have to face them alone. Divorce counselling winnipeg offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your emotions, find clarity, and begin healing.

We support individuals, couples, and families who are navigating the complex emotional, relational, and practical challenges of ending a marriage or long-term partnership. Separations and the experiences leading up to separations can be traumatic for one or both partners and can be extremely challenging to cope with. Our goal is to help support your mental health through what is often a tumultuous time so you can move forward with more confidence, compassion, and peace of mind.


What Divorce Counselling Can Help With

Our services in divorce counselling address a range of emotional and practical issues. Common areas of focus include:

  • Managing and processing intense emotions such as anger, guilt, anxiety, and grief

  • Navigating the legal and financial stresses of separation

  • Coping with the loss of identity or life direction

  • Communicating with your ex-partner in healthier ways

  • Supporting children and families through the transition with family therapy

  • Rebuilding self-esteem and planning for the future

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed or simply need someone to talk to, our therapists can help you make sense of what you’re going through and develop strategies for resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is divorce counselling different from couples therapy?

While couples therapy focuses on improving the relationship and resolving conflict within the partnership, divorce counselling helps individuals or couples process the end of the marriage relationship and prepare for life afterward. The focus is on emotional support, decision-making, and transition planning.

Can counselling help with co-parenting challenges?

Absolutely. Many of our clients seek counselling services specifically to improve co-parenting after separation. Therapy can provide you with the tools and perspective needed to work together for the benefit of your children, even when personal differences remain.

Is divorce counselling for individuals or couples?

Both. Divorce counselling can be beneficial whether you're attending sessions alone or with your ex-partner. Individual sessions help you process your own feelings and challenges, while joint sessions can support smoother communication and cooperative co-parenting.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your goals and circumstances. Some clients benefit from just a few focused sessions, while others choose ongoing support over several months. Your therapist will work with you to create a personalized plan based on your needs.

Ready To Take The Next Step?

If you're going through a separation or divorce and feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or emotionally stuck—know that you're not alone. Our compassionate therapists are here to support you through every phase of the journey. Taking the first step can be hard, but it can also be the beginning of healing and transformation.
