They can also help in managing stress, dealing with custody and legal issues, and setting new life goals.
How is a divorce coach different from a therapist or counselor? While therapists or counselors focus on past traumas, psychological issues, and long-term mental health, a divorce coach is action-oriented and focuses on the present and future.

How long will I need a divorce coach? The duration of the coaching relationship varies depending on individual needs and goals. Some people benefit from a few months of coaching while others may choose to work with a coach for a year or more. It's a personalized process and the coach will work with you to establish a timeframe that suits your needs.
Will my sessions with the divorce coach be confidential? Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the coaching relationship., but is not the same as "attorney client privilege". For this reason, I do not record our sessions or keep notes on our sessions. This way, I am unable to share information about our sessions and they can remain private.
What if I feel fine after my divorce, do I still need a coach? Even if you feel fine, a divorce marks a significant life transition and can bring about unforeseen challenges. A divorce coach can help you navigate these changes and ensure you're emotionally prepared for your new phase of life. However, the decision to engage a coach is entirely up to you.
