Your Guide to Divorce Coaching
Divorce can feel like an overwhelming journey filled with uncertainty, fear, and countless questions. Where do you begin? How do you navigate the emotional, practical, and legal challenges ahead? That’s where divorce coaching comes in. As a divorce coach, I am here to help you find clarity, build confidence, and take intentional steps toward a future that aligns with your values and goals.
This guide will introduce you to the transformative role of divorce coaching, explain how it differs from other professional support, and show you how it can empower you during this significant life transition. Let’s explore how you can move forward with grace and purpose.
Introduction to Divorce Coaching
A divorce coach is a professional who provides practical, emotional, and strategic support to individuals navigating the divorce process.
Nearly twenty years ago, I faced one of the most daunting questions of my life: 'Should I stay, or should I go?' With four young boys and a world of uncertainty, I made the courageous decision to choose a path that honoured my family's well-being. It wasn't just about ending a marriage; it was about rediscovering and reclaiming my life. Today, I am not only a divorce coach but a compassionate ally to those seeking help.
Benefits of Hiring a Divorce Coach
Divorce coaching is a unique form of support designed to help you navigate the complexities of divorce with clarity, confidence, and balance. Unlike attorneys or therapists, I focus on empowering you to clarify your goals, organize your thoughts, and make intentional decisions that align with your values. Whether you’re preparing for mediation, managing the logistics of divorce, or transitioning into a new chapter, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
HERE'S HOW I CAN SUPPORT YOU:
Emotional support and guidance through the legal process.
I provide a steady source of emotional grounding, helping you stay focused and confident as you navigate the legal complexities of your divorce.
Assistance in managing the pace and tenor of meetings related to the divorce.
I help you prepare for and approach meetings with clarity and composure, ensuring the discussions align with your goals and priorities.
Help in developing self-care practices and envisioning life post-divorce.
Together, we’ll create a self-care plan to maintain your well-being and explore what a fulfilling, empowered life looks like for you after divorce.
Support in building or strengthening coping skills for emotional challenges.
I guide you in developing practical strategies to manage stress, process emotions, and handle difficult situations with resilience and grace.
Divorce affects all facets of our life, including our emotional, practical, and financial well-being. No matter how capable we are, it's just too much for one person to handle alone. When my clients initially approach me, many take comfort in being self-sufficient and "handling everything" by themselves. But here's what I tell them: asking for help is a strategy for success, not a sign of weakness.
Having the right support system gives us the foundation we need to do the really deep work. It gives us the emotional stability to look honestly at ourselves and take responsibility for what we contributed to the relationship’s end.
Even the most successful business leaders have boards of advisors supporting them. Your divorce journey deserves the same level of strategic support. With the right people around you, you're more likely to make the right decisions for your future, maintain a grounded perspective, and approach this transition as an opportunity for growth.
Divorce Coaching for Specific Needs
Tailored Support for Specific Needs
Divorce coaching provides personalized guidance to address the unique aspects of your situation, such as child custody, financial decisions, and co-parenting challenges. I work with clients to prioritize what matters most, offering strategies to navigate complex decisions with clarity and confidence. Whether it’s understanding custody agreements, dividing assets equitably, or finding ways to balance responsibilities, tailored coaching ensures that each area of concern is managed effectively, helping you move forward with a sense of control and empowerment.
A key benefit of divorce coaching is support in creating a well-thought-out parenting plan that prioritizes the best interests of the children. Coaches help parents outline clear, actionable agreements on schedules, responsibilities, and decision-making processes. By considering factors like school schedules, holidays, and extracurricular activities, coaches assist in crafting a plan that fosters stability and consistency for the children, reducing stress for both parents and kids during the transition.
One of the most challenging aspects of divorce is managing communication with a former spouse, particularly in high-conflict situations. I provide tools and strategies to help you express your needs clearly, listen actively, and maintain a respectful tone, even in emotionally charged conversations. By minimizing conflicts and fostering productive dialogue, this guidance not only eases tensions but also creates a healthier environment for co-parenting and future interactions.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is coaching?Coaching is a supportive, forward-focused partnership that helps you reconnect with your own wisdom, gain clarity, and create meaningful change in your life and relationships. It’s not about fixing you—it’s about helping you see that you’re not broken. As your coach, I won’t give you all the answers. Instead, I’ll help you slow down, get curious, and see beyond the noise and overthinking that’s been keeping you stuck. From that grounded place, you’ll make better decisions, communicate more clearly, and show up more fully—for yourself and the people you care about. Coaching is practical, powerful, and rooted in the belief that you already have everything you need. Sometimes, you just need someone to help you see it.
-
How is coaching different than therapy and counselling?Therapy and counselling often focus on healing the past, treating mental health concerns, or understanding how past experiences impact your present. Coaching with Wendy is about looking in a new direction—one that’s grounded in the present moment and the belief that you are already whole, resilient, and capable. I’m not here to analyze or diagnose you. I’m here to help you quiet the mental noise, reconnect with your innate wisdom, and see your challenges with greater clarity and perspective. This work doesn’t require years of digging through your past. Instead, it reveals that insight, peace, and change are available to you right now. When you begin to understand how your thoughts create your experience moment to moment, you naturally begin to shift—from overwhelm to ease, from fear to freedom, from conflict to connection. It’s not about coping better. It’s about seeing differently. And that changes everything.
-
How long does the coaching last?Coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s about what works best for you. Some clients come for short-term support—maybe a few sessions to get clarity on a specific challenge. Others choose to work together for several months or more as they navigate deeper transitions, like improving a relationship, moving through a divorce, or reconnecting with themselves. Most of my coaching programs begin with a 2-day immersion followed by 3 months of 1:1 support, because lasting change takes some time, insight, and practice. But we’ll always tailor the experience to your needs, your pace, and your goals. You're never locked in—but you’ll likely find that once you start seeing differently, you’ll want to keep building on that momentum.
-
What if I’m just considering divorce?That’s exactly the right time to work with a coach. You don’t need to have all the answers right now. In fact, this in-between space—when you’re unsure, overwhelmed, or silently wrestling with “Should I stay or should I go?”—is where coaching can be most powerful. We’ll create a calm, non-judgmental space where you can hear yourself think, explore your options, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and make decisions that align with your values and your future. No pressure. No agenda. Just clarity, support, and real conversations to help you feel steady and strong—whatever you decide.
-
Are my conversations confidential?Yes, 100%. Everything you share in our coaching sessions is completely confidential. This is your safe space—to explore, reflect, question, and express whatever’s on your heart or mind without fear of judgment or concern about it being shared. I hold your trust with deep respect. Your privacy, emotional safety, and well-being are my highest priorities.
-
What if I need to speak with you in between our sessions?You’re not alone between sessions. Coaching isn’t just a once-every-two-weeks conversation—it’s ongoing support. You'll have access to on-the-spot support between sessions for those moments when you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or need a little clarity or encouragement. You can reach out by voice message, text, or email, and I’ll respond within an agreed timeframe. Sometimes one insight or reminder in the moment can shift everything—and I’m here for that.
-
Will there be work to do between sessions?What you do between sessions matters more than our conversations. This is a time for you to be open and willing to try new things, to take action, and to show up in your life in a way that is true to who you are. Together we will decide the best way to move forward. This may include books to read, podcasts to listen to, informal assignments to gain clarity around an area in your life that you would like to change, practicing communication skills, etc. We will work together to meet your objectives and create action steps to get there.
