What is separation coaching?

Separation coaching is practical support for the decisions and conversations that come with a separation or divorce. Sessions focus on the here and now: what needs to happen next, how to communicate with the other parent, and how to keep your children out of the middle.

Coaching is not legal advice and it does not replace a lawyer or mediator. It can help you arrive at those meetings calmer, better prepared and clearer about what matters to you. When stress, grief or anxiety are part of the picture, your sessions can also make room for that.

What coaching can help with

Planning how and what to tell your children about the separation

Communicating with the other parent in a calmer, more focused way

Setting boundaries and keeping adult conflict away from the children

Thinking through parenting schedules, handovers and holidays

Preparing for mediation or meetings with your lawyer

Finding your footing in a new routine as a single-household parent

You can begin on your own. The other parent does not need to take part.

What coaching is not

Coaching does not provide legal advice, make decisions about parenting time or decision-making responsibility, or assess either parent for the court. It is also not a substitute for therapy when you are dealing with significant anxiety, depression, trauma or a crisis.

If there is abuse, threats or fear in the relationship, safety comes first. We will talk with you about what kind of support is appropriate and help you find other services if needed.

Frequently asked questions

Is coaching the same as therapy?

No. Coaching is practical and goal-focused: communication, planning and next steps. Therapy makes room for grief, anxiety, trauma and other mental health concerns. Depending on what you need, your sessions can include both, and we will talk about which fits best during your free consultation.

Is coaching covered by insurance?

Coaching services may not be covered by insurance. Call us for a free 15-minute consultation to find out more about your options before you book.

Can you give me legal advice?

No. Coaching does not replace advice from a family lawyer, and we do not make decisions about parenting arrangements. Coaching can help you prepare questions for your lawyer or mediator and stay focused during those conversations.

Do both parents need to take part?

No. Most people start on their own. Coaching focuses on what you can do, whatever the other parent decides.

What if there are safety concerns?

Safety comes first. If there is abuse, threats or fear in the relationship, ordinary co-parenting advice may not fit. We will talk with you about what support is appropriate and help you connect with other services if needed.

Are sessions in person or online?

Both. Sessions are 50 minutes, in person at our Burlington office or online by secure video or phone anywhere in Ontario.
