'I truly could not recommend this book highly enough, not only to blended and step-families themselves, but all those involved in their support' - Professor Andrew Reeves, BACP fellow and Professor in Counselling Professions and Mental Health

'Clear, accessible and understanding . . . A book many step-parents will have been waiting for' - Monica Hanaway, Psychotherapist, Coach, Mediator, Trainer, and Author of books on Coaching, Leadership, and Conflict Resolution

'Reading this book is like experiencing a personal coaching session with Katherine. Her wisdom is personal, practical and profound; grounded in the theory but delivered in a straightforward way' - Damian Hughes, Sunday Times best-selling author and co-host of The High Performance Podcast

In this new book for couples forming blended family units, practising psychotherapist and coach Katherine Walker explores all the issues that couples face when combining their families. From how to maintain the couple's own loving relationship, to handling teenage tantrums, this is an easy-to-follow guide that answers every key question, and offers practical solutions.

Forming a blended family is a complex process. Each person in the unit arrives with their own expectations and understanding of the situation, and encompassing everyone's needs is not easy. Katherine offers advice on setting goals and values for the new family unit, techniques for handling conflict, and optimistic, experienced advice at every turn. Covering the main milestones from introductions to moving in together and beyond, and providing helpful tips and exercises at every stage, this book is a vital, inclusive guide to forming a blended family as consciously and cohesively as possible.
