About

Hi, I’m Cath! I’m a qualified divorce coach (and former primary teacher) with a heartfelt mission to support people through the ups and downs of divorce. Having been through it myself, I know exactly how overwhelming and uncertain it can feel. My own experience inspired me to help others navigate this journey with confidence and clarity. You can read more about my story in my blog post, ‘What is it like to be told your marriage is over?’

With my background in teaching and coaching, I bring a unique mix of empathy, practical advice, and down-to-earth strategies to help my clients. I believe divorce doesn’t have to mean endless conflict and stress—especially when kids are involved. My goal is to help you create a calmer, more cooperative process that puts everyone’s wellbeing first, especially your children’s.

I’ll give you the tools and advice you need to move forward, avoid unnecessary legal costs, and take back control of your future. Let’s make this challenging time the start of something better!

My beliefs about divorce

I believe divorce can be the start of something amazing, once you’ve had the chance to grieve. I get it—I used to think I’d never get over my divorce or meet anyone new. But I learned to be happy on my own first, and now I’m in a really great relationship. You can get there too!

For me, a big part of healing was understanding how my childhood and attachment style shaped the way I approached relationships. Once I spotted those patterns, I could start breaking free from behaviours that weren’t helping me.

Now, as a divorce coach, I use what I’ve learned to help others move through the emotional rollercoaster of divorce. It’s all about healing, growing, and getting ready for strong, healthy relationships in the future. Let’s let go of the past and focus on the amazing things ahead!

A Transformation Awaits

I’m really passionate about self-development and believe that divorce, while tough, can be a powerful opportunity for personal growth and finding your inner strength. Through my coaching, I help people not only tackle the practical side of divorce but also discover who they are and what they want moving forward.

My approach is all about compassion and understanding. I’m here to give you the tools, insights, and support to navigate this tricky time and come out the other side stronger and more confident. Together, we’ll create a new chapter for your life—one filled with resilience, positivity, and a fresh sense of purpose.

My Personal Life

When I’m not working, I love to spend time with my family or walking through the countryside with my partner. When at home relaxing, I can often be found listening to a podcast or my head stuck in a great book. I have a passion to travel and love to visit different countries around the world, ticking places off on my bucket list.

My Training

I am a qualified coach through Animas which means I have completed over 70 hours of training and 40 hours of coaching clients just to get my qualification. In addition to that I am a qualified Divorce Coach through the DCA and Sara Davison, so I have been taught and assessed on the tools and techniques that really help people move forward in their divorce. I also have a Post Graduate Certificate in Attachment, Trauma and Mental Health and have had training in CBT, narcissism, managing anxiety, polyvagal theory and some NLP.
