Rosana Khan is the founder, owner, and operator of Separation and Divorce Consulting in Victoria, British Columbia.
Rosana had firsthand experience managing her high-conflict divorce in 2001, ultimately being self-represented and obtaining full, primary parenting of her two small children. This challenging experience led Rosana down the path of helping others who were experiencing difficult separations and, ultimately, child protection.
Rosana returned to school in 2004 to obtain a degree in Child and Youth Care with a specialization in Child Protection. Rosana graduated in 2007 with distinction.
Rosana has 18 years of experience working with children, youth, and families in Family Law matters. Employed as a social worker with the Ministry of Children and Family Development, Rosana has managed high-conflict individuals for the majority of her career. Facilitating Family Group Conferences/Mediation and building relationships during traumatic events inspired Rosana to seek a path of further education. During her social work career, Rosana has received training in:
In 2023, Rosana successfully trained and completed her Divorce Coach Certification at The Institute of Professionals Association.
In 2023, Rosana completed training in managing high-conflict individuals, becoming certified as a High-Conflict Separation and Divorce Consultant in San Luis Obispo, California.
In 2023, Rosana continued her education as an Advanced Family Mediator through the Justice Institute of BC and Family Mediation Canada.
Rosana passionately believes parents are the experts on their children and their family needs. After separation, communication tends to break down despite parents who have agreed or believed if they ever separated, it would be amicable. It is traumatic for all family members when they suddenly find themselves in the position of being unable to communicate with their ‘ex’ effectively. Mediation provides a platform for guided conversations aimed at reaching a mutually agreed-upon consent agreement and ensuring the best interests of their children, as applicable. Competing interests can be challenging to manage without a neutral third party to facilitate understanding of each other’s positions. Mediation provides a safe and open opportunity to make decisions that are right for you and your family. Rosana’s approach to facilitating mediation is inclusive of:

“Rosana Khan is a graduate of the High Conflict Divorce Coach/Consulting Certification Program. This eight-week, intensive course focuses on the difficult dynamics of high-conflict divorce and child custody battles. Our program focuses on the intricacies of post-separation abuse, and our consultants are trained that it only takes one toxic, abusive, or personality disordered individual to create a high-conflict situation. Rosana Khan will be an amazing resource and advocate for those attempting to navigate the family court system. It was an honor to have Rosana Khan in our program, and I look forward to cheering her on in her advocacy work.”
