  • Overcoming High-Conflict Situations

    High-conflict situations can create significant turmoil in one's life. At Minds Moves Counselling, I teach skills to navigate and find effective solutions to conflicts, especially during separation and divorce.

    Understanding Conflict

    Conflicts arise in various aspects of our lives, from personal relationships to professional settings. It can be caused by a number of circumstances stemming from differences of opinion, values or beliefs. Most of the time, conflict can be managed by:

    • Effective Communication – Open and honest communication is the foundation of conflict resolution. I work with you to improve your communication skills, enabling you to express your thoughts and feelings clearly and listen actively to others.

    • Emotional Regulation – Emotions can run high during conflicts, so learning to manage your emotions in a healthy way is a key part of conflict resolution. I will provide you with the tools to navigate these intense emotions constructively.

    • Problem-Solving Skills – Conflict resolution involves finding mutually beneficial solutions. I will teach you the four main skills for effective problem-solving in high-conflict problem solving situations.

      1. Flexible Thinking

      2. Managed Emotions

      3. Moderate Behaviours

      4. Checking Yourself

  • Pre-mediation Coaching

    Do you have a family law mediation approaching? Are you feeling overwhelmed with the process and what to do? Do you need someone to guide you?

    Mind Moves Counselling is available for a 2 hour session prior to your mediation to provide you with the knowledge and tools for a successful mediation.
