There’s a moment most days where I am reminded how far I’ve come. Not just professionally, but also personally. Becoming a divorce coach isn’t something I fell into by accident. It’s something that the events within my life seem to have driven me towards.
A Day In The Life Of A Divorce Coach
No two days as a divorce coach are ever the same. One hour I might be supporting someone through the raw early stages of separation and heartbreak, where everything feels overwhelming, uncertain and emotionally exhausting.
Next, I could be helping a client rebuild their confidence, set boundaries, or learn how to trust themselves again so they feel safe in a new relationship.
Divorce is more than just a legal process; it is a whole life transformation which can take a lasting emotional toll on those going through it.
Many people are functioning on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside. Divorce shakes your identity, your self-worth, your sense of safety. It can leave even the strongest people questioning themselves in ways they never have before. Having a coach who truly understands the emotional landscape of divorce can be life-changing.
Why I Trained As A Divorce Coach
When I initially decided to train with Sara Davison, I hadn’t envisioned running a successful coaching practice like I do now. I was a single mum of four children; had experienced my own challenging divorce and domestic abuse, the loneliness that can follow, and the daunting world of dating again when your confidence feels fragile. I had reflected on my past relationships, had my own therapy to learn to value myself, increase my self-worth and rebuild my self-belief from the ground up. I had learnt how to trust myself again and to stop living in survival mode.
Training as a divorce coach gave language, structure, and professional tools to something I had already walked through personally. It allowed me to turn my experience into expertise.
That’s what makes divorce recovery coaching so powerful. It’s not about “fixing” people; it’s about giving them the strategies and techniques to gain clarity, confidence and build a compelling future.
What I Love Most About Coaching
What I love most about divorce coaching is witnessing the shift within my clients. Those moments when someone stops blaming themselves. The moment they realise they can feel safe again. The moment they begin to trust their own judgement and listen to their gut to make discerning decisions for themselves. The day they get clarity about what domestic abuse looks like and how to recover from it.
So much of my work centres around helping clients rebuild self-worth and self-trust. When those foundations are strong, everything else – confidence, boundaries, relationships – starts to change.
Supporting in the area of separation, divorce, domestic abuse and importantly, healthy relationships isn’t about pushing people forward to my agenda before they’re ready. It’s about meeting them exactly where they are, and walking alongside them at their pace, step-by-step.
Why This Work Matters To Me
If I can help one person not have to go through what I went through alone, not feel like they have no choices or way forward and feel safe enough to hear their inner voice again, then working as a relationship and divorce coach is totally worth it.
Recovery after separation, divorce and domestic abuse is possible. It’s not just about surviving, but rebuilding a life that is aligned with who you truly are.
And that’s why I do this work.
