Whether you have been a in a relationship for months or years, separation can be difficult for both parties. The emotional, physical and financial implications that separation can have are often a minefield to deal with, frequently taking a toll on our mental wellbeing. Separation is not only about that of a couple, it can often mean the separation of two families and groups of friends with children sometimes being the casualities. Although separation can be highly charged and emotional with blame and recriminations from both sides, an exploration of what went wrong and a plan to move forward can be achieved through professional help and the willing couple.
