What to expect

Working with Emma: what to expect in your separation and divorce coaching sessions

Watch your confidence grow as you realise you’re in the driving seat.

Hi, I’m Emma. I’m an accredited separation and divorce coach, which means I’m here to listen to your story and make your separation feel that little bit easier.

What is separation and divorce coaching?

Separation and Divorce coaching is about untangling your emotions, empowering you to take control of your situation and moving you towards a clear goal.

Separation and divorce coaching is not the same as counselling.

Separation and divorce coaching has a more practical nature and is designed to move you towards a goal, which could be:

• ◆ Making a decision about your relationship
• ◆ Knowing when to break-up with a partner
• ◆ Coping with your divorce
• ◆ How to speak to your ex
• ◆ How to get over a partner you left months ago
• ◆ Coping with being a single parent
• ◆ Rediscovering yourself
• ◆ How to get out of a relationship rut
• ◆ Learning to live a new life

In our coaching sessions you’ll learn:

• ◆ What to expect in your separation or divorce – the emotions and the process
• ◆ How to manage your negative emotions
• ◆ How to let go of your ex
• ◆ How to talk to your ex, with and without the kids around
• ◆ Techniques to empower you and your kids to cope with separation
• ◆ How to deal with high conflict separations and controlling behaviour
• ◆ How to feel calm and in control
• ◆ Coping strategies to get you through your separation
• ◆ How to be a brilliant single parent
• ◆ The steps to build a new life that you’ll love
• ◆ The confidence to date again – the do’s and don’ts
• ◆ How to bring passion back to your life

Wherever you are now, trust me that the best is yet to come…

You’ll move from here… …to here in the blink of an eye.

The stages we follow in divorce or separation coaching

When we work together there are seven stages to our coaching journey. Each one builds on the last until eventually you’ll feel confident, empowered and ready to crack open a bottle and toast the best company in the world: you.

Here are the seven stages:

• 1. Getting to know you
  Everyone’s at a different stage so the first thing we’ll do is figure out where you are. You might be unsure about leaving your partner, in the process of separation, or separated and unable to move on. There’s no right or wrong time to seek support. I tailor my coaching for wherever you are in the journey.
  
  
• 2. Giving you control
  It’s time to get control of those emotions and stop them from taking the limelight. I’ll show you techniques and exercises to clear a path through the negative thoughts and see a light at the end of the tunnel. Less overwhelm, more control.
  
  
• 3. Understanding divorce
  It can feel impossible to know where to start with a divorce. I’ll give you advice about what to expect, who you need to contact where and when. I’ll be your support team and answer any questions to give you confidence at every stage.
  
  
• 4. Empowering you
  Hey you, you’ve got this! With my bespoke kit of tools and exercises, you’ll be in control and ready to take on your divorce with confidence and power. With tailored coaching, you’ll feel empowered to talk calmly with your ex and ask for what you want with confidence.
  
  
• 5. Find your true identity
  This is the fun part. It’s where we uncover the real you: the you before things started to go wrong. We’ll dig into your passions, your hobbies, your lifestyle and connect you with your true self again.
  
  
• 6. Setting actions
  This is the ‘doing’ stage. We’ll set achievable actions for you to keep taking steps in the right direction. The action plan will keep you on track and transition you beautifully into your new life.
  
  
• 7. Ongoing support
  Don’t worry, you’re never alone. I offer ongoing support with the option to drop in or out of my office/inbox anytime. You might just need a little pick-me-up, a confidence boost or a reminder of how far you’ve come. I’ll always be here.

That’s what I’m here for. You can head to my contact page to get in touch and ask any questions you need.
