Dott.ssa Alessandra Ceppitelli

She supports parents and children through changes in the family, particularly separation and divorce. Through dialogue and educational tools she helps parents reorganise daily life, recognise their children’s needs and reduce conflict.

The aim is more conscious co-parenting: shared rules across the two homes, communication that keeps the children out of the conflict between the adults, everyday decisions taken with less friction. The children remain at the centre, not the arguments of one parent or the other.

1. Initial assessment. Two or more meetings to understand the family’s history, educational priorities and goals; where useful, a reading of the documents shared with the firm.
2. Planning. A plan with timescales, tools and ways of checking progress, and guidelines for communication between the parents.
3. Intervention. Meetings with the parents and, where appropriate, with the children; practical exercises, rehearsals of difficult conversations, routines and a division of tasks between the two homes.
4. Reviews. Regular meetings to adjust the plan, clear written feedback and, with the parents’ consent, coordination with the school or services.

Each step respects the pace of every family member, especially the children, and is carried out in full confidentiality.

Pedagogical counselling for families

Meetings to understand the family context, identify educational needs and agree a plan, with practical guidance on routines, rules, emotions and the organisation of space in the two homes.

Communication between parents and children

How to talk to children about the separation according to their age, how to answer their questions, how to handle the moves between homes and the more delicate moments: holidays, anniversaries, the arrival of a new partner.

Parenting support during separation

Programmes for parents who are separating or already separated: coordinating rules, organising the children’s time, a minimum parenting agreement that both can keep to.

Co-parenting coordination and educational mediation

In high-conflict situations, structured support for everyday decisions about the children (school, activities, health), with communication rules and shared calendars.

Children and adolescents

Individual or small-group work on social and emotional skills, self-esteem, study methods and managing emotions, together with the family and, where appropriate, the school.

School and family

Dialogue with head teachers, teachers and local services when changes in the family affect school life, to build a consistent educational framework around the child.

Training for parents and professionals

Meetings and workshops on separation and co-parenting, mindful use of digital devices, managing rules and conflict.

She works with the firm’s family law lawyers: protecting rights remains the lawyers’ task, while her contribution concerns relationships and the children’s wellbeing. It is a role distinct from legal representation, and it does not replace psychotherapy or the expert assessments ordered by the court.

Her support can help before an agreement, to organise the children’s time realistically, and after the separation, when the rules have to be put into practice in everyday life.
