His dissertation was entitled “The Experiences of Familial Estranged”, which offered an Irish perspective of the impact of Family Estrangement. Karl works with all estrangement perspectives, such as parents, adult sons and daughters, siblings, grandparents, etc. to help them connect with the deep sense of loss and rejection they carry as a result of their family situation. Focusing on each individual’s strengths, both intrinsic and learnt, he addresses how they can manage the many Psychological, Social and Relational challenges of being an estranged adult in this complex world, where estrangement is often misunderstood and stigmatized. |

Hi,
I was hoping I could get an idea of pricing for your 1-2-1 session and how they operate. I am 21, I am based in Ranelagh. I no longer live at my family home and I have been estranged from my father for about 2 and a half years. It is something I have not wanted to focus on over this time but of course it is always in the back of my head.
Many thanks
Rachel
