Additional support for those going through divorce
Going through a divorce or relationship breakdown can be a strain on the emotions. Our counselling partners, Counselling Works have provided this information to help you assess whether you might benefit from additional help and support beyond what can be provided by your lawyer.
A professionally qualified counsellor can help you deal with the emotional aspects of break-up which can manifest themselves as anger, stress, anxiety, over eating, drinking excessively, low self esteem and depression.
The professional counsellors at Counselling Works based in Milton Keynes have devised this simple questionnaire to help you decide whether you might benefit from the support of a counsellor.
Answer the following questions and then add your scores.
