How to deal with separating from a controlling and abusive partner

In the second in the series Hannah and Rhiannon discuss the benefits of a solicitor and a divorce consultant working together when dealing with a client who is separating from a controlling and abusive partner.

In this podcast we cover:

• working with clients who have been in abusive relationships
• understanding the difficulties clients in abusive relationships can face and how best to provide support
• explaining how we can help empower them to have more control when they may feel they have lost all control
• managing feelings of being scared and frightened and resources that can help
