The Goal

As your coach, my intention is to guide you in exploring all your options - before making life-changing decisions. Whether you are questioning whether to stay in a relationship or are preparing for separation, I am here to help you plan your next steps with clarity, compassion, and confidence.

From working to repair a partnership to separating with dignity, I support you in:

  • Communicating calmly and effectively

  • Managing conflict with emotional regulation

  • Rewiring unwanted thought patterns and reactions

  • Building new, healthier ways of thinking and relating

  • Gaining peace of mind in doing what is best for yourself, your children, and your wider community

This journey is not one you take alone - I will walk alongside you, holding you accountable and helping you move forward with purpose.

Decision making

Learn to trust yourself again.
My coaching helps you build the resilience and confidence needed to make empowered decisions for your future - whether that means staying and working on your relationship or separating respectfully and amicably.

We will explore every option available to your unique circumstances, with a focus on rebuilding yourself, your life, and your family—together or apart..



 

Co-parenting Support

Strong co-parenting begins with strong communication.
Develop better communication skills and stronger partnerships as co-parents, supported by tools such as:

  • Custom parenting plans – work on your draft plan with your coach for a facilitated meeting with all parties or as preparation for FDR mediation.

  • Shared expenses planning for care of children

  • Emotional guidance from someone who has walked this path before

  • Learn how to reformulate your relationship to a healthy co-parenting relationship.

With co-parenting coaching, you will be better prepared to support your children in a stable, well-structured environment in two homes.

Future Planning

Hope begins with a plan.
Together, we will:

  • Brainstorm options for your future

  • Create achievable steps at your pace

  • Gather the right info to prepare you for mediation, legal meetings, and new relationships

  • Avoid common pitfalls and preserve your dignity through the process

You don’t know what you don’t know - I'll help you prepare, plan, and protect your peace of mind.

 

Practical Systems

Make your next chapter less stressful with smart systems:

  • Budget planning and financial goal setting

  • Parenting plan frameworks

  • Separation goal-setting

  • Prepare you for meetings with expert referrals such as, legal, financial, and wellbeing professionals, so you maximise your time and money in such meetings

We'll bring in the right experts when needed and build a framework that supports you and your family long-term.

Mindset & Wellbeing

Separation and relationship challenges are emotionally exhausting. Together, we will:

  • Reduce stress and emotional overwhelm

  • Reality check your decision making with you

  • Use practical mindset tools to stay grounded

  • Improve emotional regulation for yourself and your family

  • Build healthier thought patterns for future relationships and life changes

Whether you are moving on as a single parent, entering a new relationship, or co-parenting in a blended family, I will support your mindset and wellbeing every step of the way.

 

Referral network

You are not in this alone.
As your coach, I serve as your divorce architect - helping you rebuild from the ground up. I work with a trusted network of professionals:

  • Family lawyers

  • Mediators

  • Counsellors

  • Financial planners

Before you meet with any external experts, I help you prepare - gathering questions, paperwork, and emotional clarity to make your time with them more productive, less expensive, and far less stressful. Let me help reduce your concerns and stress. Reach out for a complimentary discovery call to learn more!
