Language of Divorce and Separation - FLiP 21

May 5, 2023

In this podcast Nicole Phillips, a Senior Associate at FLiP is joined by Andrew Pearce, UKCP Registered Psychotherapist and in-house therapist at FLiP.  Nicole and Andrew discuss the type of language used in the midst of a divorce or separation covering a range of topics such as:

  • How language differs in Nicole’s practice to that of the language used in Andrew’s consulting room in a therapeutic environment  
  • The history of language of divorce and separation
  • The invisible impact of language and the wider impact during a divorce/separation
  • The formal language of divorce including the introduction of no fault divorce
  • Use of informal language
  • Language Matters movement with the Family Solutions Group and the 5 Ps concept (plain language, personal, proportionate language, problem solving language and positive futures).

Andrew’s areas of particular interest include dealing with the impact of change, building resilience, conflict resolution and working to de-stigmatise mental health and minimise its impact. Andrew’s aim is to increase choice for those who want the freedom to be authentically who they really are.
