Trying to see our situation from our children’s perspective can be difficult, daunting or even seem impossible when trying to hold everything together. Separation can be a time of uncertainty for children, even when handled with care. Children’s counselling provides a safe, supportive space where they can express their feelings, make sense of what’s happening, and feel heard without pressure or expectation.
During the divorce process, counselling can gently support children alongside mediation and our One Couple One Solicitor approach. By helping them process change in a healthy way, it can ease anxiety, reduce emotional strain and support more positive communication within the family, allowing you to focus on making decisions that truly reflect their needs.
Beyond the immediate transition, children’s counselling can help build resilience, confidence and emotional wellbeing as they adjust to a new normal. Whether it’s navigating two homes, changing routines or simply understanding their emotions, the right support can make a lasting difference to how they move forward.
We introduce families to experienced, independent children’s counsellors we trust, and only professionals who share our values of empathy, sensitivity and child-centred care. Their focus is simple, to support your child through change with kindness and understanding, so they feel secure, supported and able to thrive.
Founder - Same Boat Parents
Jonno works with teenagers and families navigating some of the most challenging moments in their lives, including periods of family breakdown, conflict and change.
His approach is built on a simple but powerful principle, when young people feel connected, trusted with some control, and clear on why things matter, they begin to re-engage. From there, relationships improve, communication opens up, and families start to feel like themselves again.
Drawing on his work leading award-winning alternative education provision at Bath Rugby Foundation, where he supports young people who have faced significant disruption and disadvantage, Jonno has helped families move from feeling overwhelmed and “frayed” to more unified, calmer and in control. In many cases, this has meant reduced conflict at home, stronger communication, and young people taking positive steps forward again.
Jonno offers flexible support tailored to each family, including one-to-one coaching with parents, direct work with young people, and guided sessions that help rebuild understanding on both sides.
Based in Bath and working both in person and remotely, Jonno provides a practical, compassionate space for families to reset, reconnect, and move forward with confidence.
