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.

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.
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.
