Family Law Family Therapy

Family Law Family Therapy (FLFT) is a structured, therapeutic intervention that supports families involved in the family law system. It is not mediation or legal advice—instead, it provides a safe, neutral space to:
  • Address entrenched conflict and communication breakdowns
  • Support children’s emotional needs and developmental wellbeing
  • Strengthen co-parenting relationships post-separation
  • Reduce the psychological impact of legal proceedings on all family members
FLFT is often recommended by courts, Independent Children’s Lawyers (ICLs), or family consultants when conflict is high and children are at risk of emotional harm.

🛠️ How It Helps
Family Law Family Therapy can assist with:
  • Rebuilding safe communication between parents
  • Supporting children’s voices in developmentally appropriate ways
  • Managing loyalty binds, grief, and adjustment post-separation
  • Reducing triangulation and parentification
  • Clarifying roles, boundaries, and expectations
  • Addressing trauma, power imbalances, and emotional triggers
  • Creating parenting strategies that align with court orders and child wellbeing


⚖️ When Is It Appropriate?
Family Law Family Therapy may be appropriate when:
  • There is ongoing high conflict between separated parents
  • Children are refusing contact or showing signs of distress
  • There are allegations of family violence, coercive control, or alienation
  • Parents struggle to implement court orders or parenting plans
  • A court, ICL, or family report recommends therapeutic intervention


🤝 Our Approach
We work collaboratively with legal professionals, family consultants, and therapeutic practitioners to ensure:
  • Neutrality and transparency
  • Safety and accountability
  • Cultural responsiveness and neurodiversity inclusion
  • Clear boundaries between therapy, coordination, and legal advice
All sessions are guided by best-practice frameworks in child development, attachment, trauma recovery, and systems theory.


📌 Important Notes
  • Family Law Family Therapy is not confidential in the traditional therapeutic sense. Reports may be provided to the court or legal representatives.
  • Participation may be court-ordered or voluntary, but always requires a commitment to respectful engagement.
  • This service is not suitable for reconciliation therapy or where there is active risk of harm.
