Counselling for children aged 5 to 15 years whose parents are separating or divorced
Counselling is free to families from Hertfordshire
Counselling sessions are 1:1 or Group based
5 sessions are offered on a weekly basis
Counselling sessions based on play are available for younger children

Wherever possible, Counselling is provided out of school hours
We provide a confidential service for children who are experiencing difficulties with the separation or divorce of their parents.
Each child is encouraged to express themselves freely in a safe, caring environment, where our Counsellors create an atmosphere of trust, mutual respect and confidentiality. The child is always the focus of attention; their feelings will be heard, valued and accepted. In this way they may be able to come to terms with the emotional distress they are experiencing and develop strategies that enable them to cope better with their circumstances.
All our Counsellors are qualified to diploma level with significant practical experience.
All undergo CRB enhanced disclosure and are familiar with Child protection procedures, they are members of their relevant professional body whose Code of Practice and Complaints procedure is followed.
We are happy to accept referrals from parents, carers, GP’s, PCT’s, Schools, CSF, CAFCASS, Solicitors, Family Courts, clients of the Mediation Service and the network of Voluntary organisations dealing with Children’s Fund issues.
Time2Talk is a service provided by Hertfordshire Family Mediation with the support of the Children's Fund.
