"There is a reason Bill Hewlett is in such high demand
In his gentle but implacable way, he opened our eyes - against our will - to our responsibility to build a relationship, being one solely for co-parenting.
He did this by placing our children in the forefront of our consideration, particularly in terms of how we appear to them. And by showing kindness and compassion (even if anathema in the most destructive of separations), he demonstrated that the other person would come forward, with positive effects, even long before our hearts follow.
Bella’s role was critical as parents have different incentives to meet, and Bella’s highly constructive and diplomatic approach played a significant role in bringing us both together.”

"When I felt anger, Bill showed me a wider perspective.
When I felt lost, Bill gave me hope. Most of all, Bill kept me focussed on the kids, helping me figure out the core of parenting, of being a dad.”

"Civilised separations helped our family understand our situation in a different way
and we were able to finally communicate in a positive way”
-
"Bill is likeable but with a no nonsense feel
I would strongly recommend Civilised separations! Thank you Bill!”
-
"Bill has an uncanny ability to cut through the noise
and to identify the core problems in a relationship and then create an environment where both individuals learn to understand each other without blame, recrimination or falling back into the same old doom-loop. It made me look at my relationship in a very different way and made me a better person. I can categorically say that I would not be married today if my partner and I had not worked with Bill.”
