Separation & Divorce Coaching

SUPPORT, GROWTH, EMPOWERMENT

Separating is painful and brings about huge life changes.

How do you make the big decisions facing you and overcome the seemingly endless challenges – all at a time when you feel confusion, loss, and uncertainty?

With many years experience as a mediator and therapist I understand separation and divorce from all angles. I can help you navigate the complexities of a new reality, process emotions and provide the tools you need to make informed choices along the way so you emerge with strength and confidence for your future.

You may be at the stage of considering separation, or have already taken the decision to separate, or you may feel that decision has been made for you. Whatever stage you are at, I will work with you as your professional and confidential ‘thinking partner’ to help you process and navigate this unfamiliar and demanding landscape. Every client has their own unique needs but there are certain themes that regularly emerge:

Challenges making the decision to separate.

Help understanding what options are available when separating.

Challenges of acceptance and ‘letting go’.

Managing a rollercoaster of emotions and high stress levels.

Communicating to others about separation, e.g. spouse, children, close family and friends.

Building your support team.

Worries about the children and how to focus on their needs. 

Communication with your ex-partner.

Establishing healthy boundaries.

Dealing with an uncooperative, difficult, or controlling ex-partner.

Making key decisions.

Engaging effectively with the legal process.

Help in the form of practical tips, guidance, and referrals to other professionals.

Re-entering the workforce after years of being a full-time parent.

Support with co-parenting challenges.

How to navigate the new normal after divorce.

Empowering you to move forward with hope.

FAQs

Many of my clients have been referred to me by family lawyers who recognise the value of this support to their clients.

  • The first step is to have a free no obligation 15 minute phone call and if you want to take the next step we arrange an initial consultation and assessment session which allows us to discuss your situation in some depth and work out if working together would be a helpful way forward.
