Family Court funding for counselling
All parents are entitled to 6 free sessions of completely confidential counselling through the Family Court about the issues described above. The majority of the sessions must include both parents. However, there is a Family Court register of therapists who are contracted by the Family Court to do this work. You can choose the counsellor or therapist you want to see, but not all of the therapists on this website are on that register. Learn about this service.
