TURN THE CHAOS INTO A RESPECTFUL PROCESS

Divorce coaching and mediation services for you.

DIVORCE COACHING

A Divorce Coach is a trained professional who helps you manage the practical challenges of the divorce process as well as the emotional roller-coaster that is a part of getting divorced. The strategies and techniques that I use when working with clients will enable them to navigate and cope better so they can move forward and transition confidently to the next chapter of life post-divorce.

I am a Divorce Coach with a legal and mediation background and I have over 20 years of experience. I have unique expertise in the legal process of divorce, alternative methods of dispute resolution, collaborative law, conflict resolution, co-parenting, planning, property division, and all other issues related to divorce. I also have decades of experience with divorces including my own divorce and many of them may be similar to your divorce.

The decisions you have to make when going through divorce are confusing. Clients feel like they have lost themselves in a fog and lost their sense of direction. They don’t know what steps to take, how to figure it all out, and how long it will take. I saw that there was a gap in the market for specific assistance that people needed to help them manage the divorce process more strategically.

What is divorce coaching ?

MEDIATION

DO YOU WANT A RESPECTFUL RESOLUTION ?

Families are complex. Separations and disputes involving children can become messy, overwhelming, and deeply hurtful. But just because it started this way doesn’t mean it has to continue.

We pride ourselves on helping you resolve disputes so you can preserve the co-parenting relationship, reach an agreement on asset separation, and move on to the next chapter of your life.

You don’t have to lose sleep ruminating on what is and what could be. It’s time to stop worrying and start working on a resolution. We are a team of fully accredited Family Dispute Resolution practitioners with many years of experience working towards a same-day outcome.

We look forward to meeting  you.

BENEFITS OF MEDIATION

Reduces Conflict

Child-Focused

Saves Time and Money

Maintain Connections-with Grandparents / In-Laws

WHY YOU SHOULD TRY MEDIATION FIRST

AVOID COURT - Court cases can cost thousands of dollars and cause immeasurable damage to your relationship. We make it possible for you to reach a respectful resolution out of court.

REBUILD YOUR RELATIONSHIP - If you go down the path of court, you will fracture the relationship further and there is less chance of having a healthy co-parenting relationship down the track. Mediation helps you mend those fences and put agreements in place so you can co-parent peacefully.

QUICK RESOLUTION - Life is too short to waste another minute in dispute. We can fit you in as soon as you like, with no long waiting times for an appointment.

PARENTING CO-ORDINATION

Parenting Co-ordinators (PCs) use a mixture of education and coaching to teach parents the skills to manage their co-parenting relationship better and implement what is set out in parenting orders, thereby reducing the amount of conflict that a family is experiencing.

It is a process where PCs work with parents –

  • To help them focus on the needs of their children rather than their own anger.
  • May include email monitoring and coaching on how to improve communication and manage the conflict.
  • It teaches parents how to make decisions about the children together.
  • The focus is on the well-being of the child and lowering everyone’s stress levels.

The parents may have agreed on a plan when they finalised their divorce, but it does not mean that there won’t be continuing arguments and disagreements regarding parenting arrangements. The conflict and disagreements don’t magically stop because a parenting agreement has been reached. Many parents have no idea what shared parenting is like, and the slightest disagreement over the most trivial issue can cause ongoing conflict between the parties.

We provide Parenting Co-ordination services to clients, and we also train Lawyers, Mediators, Psychologists, and Family Report Writers on the practice of Parenting Co-ordination.
