For more than 10 years, my work in social pedagogy has focused on supporting families through parental separation and developing supportive resources that help families navigate this process.
About
During my 17 years of work in a professional centre for children and adolescents with emotional and behavioural difficulties, I gained deep insight into the challenges faced by children, the struggles of parents, and the new dynamics that arise when parents decide to separate. Many children in these institutions come from separated families, which in itself shows how demanding the process of separation can be for the whole family. Over the past 10 years, I have therefore developed a range of supportive resources for families going through separation. I support families in finding their way through professional publications I have authored, personal counselling, online courses, programmes, and other resources.
