How I help

Divorce and separation coaching for how you feel and what you want next, with my experience in finance there for you when the numbers need clarity too.

Here is what we can work on together, how we will go about it, and how to tell whether coaching is the right kind of support for you right now.

Two types of clarity

When everything feels overwhelming, clarity changes everything.

Divorce can leave you making important decisions while emotions, practicalities and the future all compete for your attention.

I help you get clearer on both.

Emotional Clarity

When you can’t see the wood for the trees.

  • Quiet the overwhelm
  • Work out what you actually want
  • Prepare for difficult conversations
  • Set and hold boundaries
  • Make decisions without being driven by fear
  • Feel more confident about what comes next

Financial Clarity*

When the numbers suddenly feel very personal.

  • Understand what you have and what you need
  • Bring order to financial information
  • Know which questions to ask
  • Prepare for conversations with your solicitor or financial adviser
  • Understand the implications of different choices
  • Feel more confident discussing your financial future

*I provide clarity and preparation, not regulated financial advice.

However you got here

Divorce doesn’t look the same for everyone. Neither should the support.

Wherever you are in the process, I help you slow things down, understand what matters and work out your next move.

  • Keeping things amicable

    You want to protect the relationship where possible, communicate well and make thoughtful decisions without creating unnecessary conflict.

  • When things are difficult

    Communication may have broken down, emotions are running high or you’re dealing with behaviour that makes every decision harder.

  • Finding your way forward

    You may not know what kind of divorce this will become. You just know you need somewhere calm to think, understand your options and decide what comes next.

You don’t need to fit a category. You just need support that fits you.

A clear distinction

Is coaching right for you?

I don’t replace your solicitor or financial adviser. I help you arrive at those conversations clearer, better prepared and knowing what you need to ask.

I work collaboratively with your solicitor, mediator and financial adviser to support you through every part of your separation.

This might be for you if…

  • You want steady support alongside your legal process.
  • Your finances feel tangled.
  • You want to improve co-parenting communication.
  • You are struggling to move forward after a long-term relationship.

Coaching isn’t a substitute for…

  • Legal representation.
  • Courtroom strategy.
  • Regulated financial advice.

Ways to work with me

  • Discovery Call

    • 20 minutes
    • Complimentary

    A gentle first conversation to explore whether coaching is right for you.

    We’ll discuss your circumstances, what you’re looking for and how I may be able to help. You’ll have space to ask questions, understand my approach and get a sense of whether working together feels right.

  • First Consultation

    • 90 minutes
    • In-depth session

    A dedicated space to pause, talk things through and make sense of where you are.

    When there is a lot to process, it can be difficult to know where to begin. This extended session gives you time to explore your circumstances, identify your main concerns and consider what matters most as you decide your next steps.

  • Individual Coaching Session

    • 60 minutes
    • Focused, one-to-one support

    Support for the challenge that’s on your mind today.

    Sometimes, a particular situation needs your attention. Whether you’re preparing for a difficult conversation, unsure how to respond to a message or navigating a decision.

    Together, we’ll explore your options and consider how you want to respond, so you can leave with a clearer perspective and a practical way forward.
