Mediation support

Child-centred assessment

Implementation and repair

From mediation to implementation and repair, the child's experience remains central.

Ligpunt offers more than assessment. The practice supports the full professional process, from mediation and parenting-plan development to implementation challenges, emotional repair and specialist input where needed.

The work is structured, ethical and practical, helping adult decision-makers understand the child's experience without placing adult responsibility on the child.

Core referral pathways for family-law matters.

Each pathway begins with the professional question that needs clarity, then follows the assessment, support or specialist route that best fits the matter.

Play therapy

Supporting children as they process change, loss and tension.

Family guidance

Developing healthier co-parenting and family interaction patterns.

Supervised contact

Safe, structured contact where conflict or risk requires containment.

When to refer.

Parenting plan

When a parenting plan is being developed, reviewed or difficult to implement.

In high- or low-conflict family matters where the child still needs to be understood.

Sensitive matters

When complex, high-conflict or specialist concerns need careful professional input.
