My Approach
As a Separation and Divorce Consultant
Working Together for Positive Outcomes During Separation and Divorce
I will work with you to develop a full understanding of your unique circumstances and to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the process and the factors that will be relevant to your situation. Together we will identify your strengths and the opportunities available to you. We will also consider potential complications that might arise so we can pre-empt and navigate the challenges you encounter.
I will empower you to manage those challenges effectively so that you achieve the best outcome available. Managing the change effectively is critical to achieve order from the perceived chaos and a result that meets or exceeds your expectations.
There are numerous things that you might need to consider and these are detailed in my Separation and Divorce Services. Some clients need assistance with only some of the areas I specialise in whilst others need more comprehensive support.
Clarity, Planning and Support: My Method for Better Divorce Outcomes
To achieve the best outcome available, we will identify where you want to be and develop strategies that will enable you to attain the outcomes you want. This is done through several stages.
- Assess and Evaluate
- Understand your unique circumstances.
- Create a roadmap of the divorce/separation process tailored to your circumstances.
- Identify the potential strengths and weaknesses of your current situation.
- Explore other factors that could create opportunities and understand any threats that might have a bearing on your situation.
- Envisage
- Using that roadmap, explore and identify the best outcomes that are achievable.
- Consider how to navigate potential obstacles to allow you to achieve those outcomes.
- Empower and Enable
- Provide you with a plan of the individual steps to get you where you want to be with clear timelines and paths to success.
- Introduce you to experts who can support you in particular areas if necessary.
- Enable you to excel and adapt to further change.
This process can be applied to the entire divorce and separation process or to bespoke areas that you want to focus on. Some clients will use me to consider child arrangements, others will want support with their finances and the financial settlement; some will need both.
I can also work with you prior to specific events such as meeting with your solicitor, attending mediation, or attending court hearings, to ensure that you are prepared for those events and get the best outcome possible.
I can also help you redefine your relationship with your former partner and assist with the communication process so that you can make the change more effectively. In my experience, negotiations are more effective, and costs are reduced, when animosity and acrimony are kept to a minimum. I do however, recognise that in certain circumstances, this might not be achievable.
Partnering with me means working with a trusted professional who combines expertise with empathy. I provide tailored strategies that minimise conflict, safeguard your interests, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence. Together we will deal with your situation rationally, calmly and collaboratively.
