“We will provide you with a well-supported, personalised service all the way, while achieving a fair and respectful separation outcome.” - Susan Crain
Introduction:
If you are struggling right now, we get it, and please know you are not alone. Separation Support Network grew from our clients needs to get a more comprehensive, time efficient, affordable one stop solution. They also often report feeling isolated, frustrated and frightened and genuinely needed a hug through the tough process.
It is extremely difficult to find out how and where to get the help you and your family need and what options are really available, beyond going down the expensive court route. Many of our clients are not eligible for Legal Aid, but are then forced to spend a large portion of their savings and superannuation on large legal bills, which could often be avoided or reduced significantly. Many of our clients using our service have reduced their potential legal bill by 50% and have advised us that their family was a lot less stressed and better supported through our process.
We have helped our clients from the outset when they are weighing up the options of whether to leave or have just entered the separation maze, right through to the post-divorce stages. The range of services and assistance we have provided our clients is diverse. We have helped all family members with counselling through the whole process and beyond, communicating with the children and their partners and family about separating, helping to deal with conflict, mediation, guidance on their safe exit before leaving and staying safe throughout the process, dealing with the banks, accountants, mortgage brokers and lawyers, gathering and preparing necessary documentation, completing draft forms, discussing child support options, domestic violence and child abuse protection options.
After assisting with the divorce application process, we also assist in many other ways including helping with updating family documents such as wills, transfer of assets, conveyancing, stress management, life coaching to help set the goals for the next chapter and assisting with job applications (resume and interview assistance).
Our services are all conveniently located on line which means they are accessible for all Australians (metro, country and remote areas). We can arrange translators.
I know this time is stressful and it seems overwhelming but please remember, as difficult as it may be to envisage right now, there is a life after separation. We will provide you with a well-supported, personalised service all the way, whilst achieving a fair and respectful separation outcome. It is so rewarding to see our clients emerge through the process and the growth and empowerment they experience.
We are genuinely here to get you through it.

Questions about our
Services?
Medicare rebate or private medical insurance claim for psychological services?
Most clients prefer to book directly with with our counsellors. No referral is required to access this counselling service.
During the first session, you can discuss the benefits of seeking a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP should you wish to pursue this path moving forward and you are booking with a registered psychologist. If you require a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) you will need to make a long appointment with your GP and they will make an assessment about whether you are eligible.
All of our registered psychologists are registered with Medicare and you will need a referral from a GP if you wish to claim Medicare rebates. Under the Better Access program you can receive a partial rebate for up to 10 individual sessions in a calendar year.
All our psychologists are registered with private health insurance providers in Australia. If you have private health insurance, you may be eligible to claim rebates for psychological sessions. The level of cover and any applicable waiting periods vary between providers and depends on your extras cover policy.
To find out if you are eligible and/or how much funding you are entitled to claim for psychological sessions, please contact your private health insurance.
Where applicable, some of our psychologists also see clients who are self-managed or plan-managed through NDIS at the current rate for NDIS.
Cancellation or missed sessions policy
Given the nature of our support services, last minute cancellations are costly, and it means that other clients may miss out on receiving the required support. For cancellations within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment there is a $65 part fee payment. For less than 24 hours cancellation notice or a non-show, the full session fee will need to be charged. These fees are refunded however if the session can be filled at the last minute.
How are your counselling and coaching sessions held?
We know our clients are time poor. For your convenience, all our counselling or coaching sessions are now available online via Zoom.
You can book your appointment online via this website.
Zoom allows us to connect with you via video and audio. It just requires you to click on a link to join. You can sign up to Zoom to create a FREE account and download the Zoom Client for Meetings. Zoom does require internet connections.
After you book you will be sent a reminder about the booking and emailed a link to connect at the booked time. You are also likely to be sent a client information form to complete prior to your initial consultation to enable our Counsellors and Coaches to be better prepared for your first meeting.
If you are unable to make any of the dates available, please email us to see if we can accommodate an alternate time for you: [email protected]
If you live in Brisbane or the Gold Coast, Queensland, we are available for face to face consultations. Please email us at [email protected] if you would like to arrange an in person appointment.
Webinars - how they are received, transcripts and worksheets
Our clients have requested webinars and programs for years that allow them to access excellent support and guidance and a toolkit they can use to move forward. Many of our clients are time poor so these webinars give them the chance to get the support and resources in their time. The webinars can be purchased on line. The link, transcript and workbooks/worksheets and videos (where applicable)are then sent with the email. Sign up to our email today to receive updates on all our webinars, programs and resources.
