About Rise Up
Rise Up Counselling is a compassionate therapeutic practice dedicated to supporting individuals and families facing challenges with parenting time, decision-making responsibilities, and the complexities of separation & divorce.
Trusted Since 1999
Decades of experience supporting families through separation, divorce, and parenting transitions with professionalism and care.
In-Person & Virtual Sessions
Flexible options designed to meet families where they are, offering both face-to-face and secure virtual appointments for accessible, convenient support.
Self & Professional Referrals
We accept both self-referrals and referrals from legal and community professionals, making it easy to access timely, coordinated care.
Divorce & Separation Counselling
Separation and divorce are often among the most emotionally challenging transitions individuals and families experience. Divorce and Separation Counselling at Rise Up Counselling provides a supportive, steady space for parents, teens, and children to navigate change, process emotions and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Family Therapy & Reunification Therapy
Family relationships can become strained or disrupted during separation and divorce, particularly when conflict is prolonged or when families are navigating legal or court-related processes. Family Therapy and Reunification Therapy at Rise Up Counselling provide structured, child-centred support to help repair and strengthen family relationships when connection has been impacted by conflict, distance, or disruption.
Co-Parenting Counselling
Co-parenting counselling is a structured, practical service designed to support parents navigating shared parenting after separation or divorce. Unlike couples or marriage counselling, the goal is not to repair the romantic relationship. Instead, the focus is on helping parents develop the skills and mindset needed to work together effectively in their new roles as co-parents.
Blended Family Support
Blending families after separation or divorce is a complex transition that unfolds over time. It often involves navigating new roles, shifting expectations, different parenting styles and strong emotions for both adults and children.
At Rise Up Counselling, we provide grounded, non-judgmental support for families adjusting to life in a blended family system. Our work helps families slow things down, reduce emotional reactivity and approach challenges with greater clarity and intention.
