Therapeutic services

Therapeutic services

BH&O LLP recognise that there is a growing gap in the availability of therapeutic services for clients going through matrimonial and family breakdown, and we have developed ways of trying to help our clients overcome those gaps.

It is so important when you are thinking about a separation or divorce, or are going through stressful situations, that you look at ways of building – or re-building – your resilience, to enable you to take onboard the legal advice that your lawyer is giving you, or to be able to give instructions, or participate properly in family mediation.

We have, therefore, worked with Lorinda Gamlin and a group of like-minded counsellors to set up services that can be accessed alongside legal advice or mediation.

The linked counsellors and therapists can offer to our clients various therapeutic services, both individually, and/or as part of a group.

Lorinda has also developed ‘Reflections’, a six week course designed to get clients beyond the anger, fear, panic and grief they experience as their relationship breaks down.

For clients in mediation the counsellors can work with couples alongside their initial consultations, and throughout the process.

Please ask your lawyer or mediator at BH&O for details
