For clinicians, mediators & family professionals
A calm, structured support layer you can refer families to.
dip is built on the Pauline Sam Method, an evidence-informed synthesis that turns attachment and family-systems research into the daily decisions two homes have to make. It complements your work; it never replaces it.
The honest stance
Built to complement professional care.
Evidence-informed, not evidence-claiming
Every core move maps to established developmental, attachment and family-systems research. Where something is an application rather than a direct finding, we name it as such.
A support layer, not a replacement
dip is not therapy, assessment, or legal advice. It is a structured layer that sits alongside your work. The referring professional keeps oversight.
Safety overrides everything
Where there is violence, coercive control, or child abuse, dip suspends agreement-building and routes the family to specialist help. Safety is screened first.
Honest about validation
The science underneath is settled. The method鈥檚 own outcome data is still being gathered through real-world engagement. We hold that distinction in the open.
The ecosystem
One method, three layers.
The app
A calm place for the logistics: a shared calendar, the handover, co-funding, the private Village of helpers, and a document Vault. Tense messages are softened before they land.
The library
Around 225 articles grounded in the method, localized, not just translated, organised by the child鈥檚 stage and the decision at hand, from communication to the hard moments.
The world for the child
dip the penguin, picture books and gentle stories that help a little one make sense of two homes and one family, at their own height and in their own language.
Why refer
Extend your reach between appointments.
The hard part was never the theory. It is Tuesday night, two houses, and a four-year-old who will only sleep with the blanket that lives at the other home. dip takes the same science the whole way down into those decisions, so the work you do in session holds between sessions, never replacing the relationship at the centre of it.
A closer look at the Pauline Sam Method.
A window into the clinical foundation beneath every article and protocol, the language, the safeguards, and a small part of the research the method is built on. Written for professionals.
