In addition to professional education and program development, Kara Ockendon, the founder of Thriving Divorce & Separation, actively works with separating families through facilitated collaborative separation processes.
This ongoing practice informs all professional development and training, ensuring that workshops and programs are grounded in real-world experience, current legal and therapeutic contexts, and the realities faced by families and practitioners.
This holistic, integrated approach supports professionals to translate theory into ethical, practical, and effective practice.

navigating stress and conflict
understanding and responding to human behaviour
identifying and addressing the underlying barriers to progress
We offer bespoke CPD and in-house professional development workshops tailored to the needs of your practice, team, and client base.
Training can be delivered online or in person and is designed to be practical, reflective, and immediately applicable to your work.
