Shasha Oosthuizen
Psychologist (Supervised Practice)
Sometimes life can become overwhelming because of our inner worlds or outer worlds. We try to manage our life’s challenges as best as we know, but occasionally we might need extra support to feel better. Seeking psychotherapy is an admirable decision since it is a type of self-care, and taking care of ourselves is essential for our wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce
How can therapy help during a divorce or separation?
Divorce and separation are among the most stressful life events a person can experience, often involving grief, anger, fear about the future, financial strain, and the complexity of co-parenting. A therapist provides a confidential space to process these emotions, develop coping strategies, and make sense of what is happening — without the burden of relying entirely on friends and family who may have their own views on the situation. Therapy supports both adjustment and longer-term recovery.
Should I seek individual therapy or couples therapy during a separation?
Both can be valuable depending on your goals. Individual therapy helps you process your own emotions, identity, and path forward. Couples therapy during or after a separation can help partners communicate more effectively — particularly important when children are involved. Some couples also use therapy to work through whether separation is truly the right choice. A therapist can help you determine which format best fits your situation.
What are the emotional stages of divorce and is it normal to feel all of them?
The emotional experience of divorce is often described as a form of grief and may include shock, denial, anger, sadness, guilt, relief, and eventually acceptance — though not necessarily in that order, and sometimes cycling back. It is entirely normal to feel contradictory emotions: grief and relief, anger and love, fear and excitement. A therapist helps you make space for the full range of these emotions without getting stuck in any one of them.
How can therapy help with co-parenting after a divorce?
Co-parenting counselling helps separated parents communicate more effectively, reduce conflict in front of children, establish consistent routines across two households, and make decisions that prioritize the children's wellbeing. It is distinct from couples therapy in that the focus is entirely on the parenting relationship, not the romantic or personal one. Research shows that children adjust best to divorce when their parents are able to co-parent collaboratively and minimize conflict.
How long does therapy for divorce or separation typically take?
The timeline varies widely depending on the circumstances of the separation, your support system, and whether children are involved. Some people work through the acute adjustment phase in 8–12 sessions; others benefit from longer-term support as they rebuild their identity, navigate legal and financial stress, and establish a new life. There is no pressure to "be over it" quickly — your therapist will match the pace to your needs.
