Divorce Coach

Separation Coaching is my favourite part of my job, because as a certified divorce coach, it allows me to work with you one on one around not just the legal aspects of separation, but what we can do to improve your whole world moving forward.

Certified Divorce Coaching

Separation and Divorce coaching is all about supporting you through the big changes, guiding you on how to best deal with the legal processes, as well as working out the ways you can maximise your financial independence, manage your physical and mental well-being and health, as well as supporting your little ones.

Get the best results with a divorce coach

Divorce coaching is about working with you holistically to consider everything involved in your transition from being partnered to independent, and how to best manage your life and situation through that journey.

The best analogy is to compare a certified divorce coach to a professional sports coach.

For me, I played a lot of netball, you might have been into basketball, tennis, swimming, cricket, footy… whatever. Pick your sport! I’ll stick with netball.

So what did my coaches for netball do?

They looked at what we, their players, wanted to achieve. That was winning games.

Then, how could we win games? By getting more goals than the other team.

So how could we get more goals?

This is where the magic happens. Both in my metaphorical sports reference and in divorce coaching.

The coach gets to work with the individual. Sure, they can get the whole team to do the same drills to work on the same sets of skills – running, passing, defending.

But then they need to break it down to each, single, individual member of the team. Because each member of that team has a different skill set, fitness level, and ability. The Goal Shooter will not train the same as the Centre, who won’t train the same as the Wing Defence.

What if a team doesn’t have a coach?

They can still learn how to play the sport, they can practise by themselves, they can get on the court and do all the things. Will they win? Maybe. Would they be as good as they were with a coach? Doubtful.

Coaches motivate and drive you to achieve your end goal. Being… possibly a goal, for most ball sports. In the case of divorce or separation, it is to lead an amazing life, after you end a relationship.

So as a divorce coach, I will guide you practically, honestly, and holistically, step by tiny step, in all areas of your separation, referring you to specialists when needed, and helping you to plan where you are going and how you intend to get there.

**If you and your former partner are looking to engage in collaborative family law (which is awesome, I do that too and I LOVE IT!), then you will need a divorce coach. This coach will work with BOTH of you, together and separately, to facilitate a practical and amicable separation for your family. Which is exciting. And super helpful.**

If you want to separate better, then book an Initial Consultation session so we can get coaching. Let’s look at where you want to be, and work out the exact plan on how you are going to get there.
