BIOGRAPHY:

Deborah Brakeley is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Collaborative Divorce Coach in private practice on the West Side. She has worked with families in various counselling capacities since 1983. She approaches her work from a holistic perspective. That is, she takes into account the practical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual aspects of separation and the loss that families experience during this profound transition in their lives. She includes educational aspects of counselling, such as communication and conflict resolutions skills, as she helps parents develop a parenting plan and co-parenting strategies. She supports children as they cope with their own experience of loss and parents as they strive to meet their children's needs. She draws on her Collaborative Divorce and advanced mediation training in her work as a Divorce Coach.

Deborah is one of the founding members and former Co-Chair of the Collaborative Divorce Association of B.C. As well, she provides basic interdisciplinary Collaborative Divorce training for CLE and presentations for the IACP's Collaborative Practice Networking Forums. As a Board Member of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals, she is able to explore and help shape the future of Collaborative Practice.
