Barbara kaplan

Life Coach- specialist in divorce and break up.

I completed my Divorce and Breakup Practitioner coaching course and Masters coaching course, specialising in domestic abuse, through Sara Davison. Having personally experienced a bruising breakup and divorce, faced with financial insecurity, I am acutely aware of the complexities involved in supporting a diverse range of individuals experiencing the challenge of divorce/breakup, a financial settlement, and the building of a new life . My goal is to facilitate the best possible outcomes for each person’s unique journey. 

My client base varies in that some clients are considering their options while others have already instructed solicitors. Others are post separation and divorce. Many are left feeling overwhelmed by the decisions that need to be made moving forward. My role is not solely to assist a client who is going through the divorce process, but to also help provide clarity for those people who may wish to attempt to save their relationship.

All too often clients are so bewildered by the end of their marriage that they are unable to coherently provide the necessary information to instruct solicitors or formulate the best strategy. Many have not been provided the independence to pay a bill or made a financial decision on their own and are emotionally paralysed by the fear of change and uncertainty at the end of their marriage. My aim is to alleviate clients’ anxieties, enabling them to recover from the breakdown of their marriage and empowering them for both the legal process and the beginning of a new life. Additionally, I seek to help them manage their emotional responses, ensuring that their appointments with the legal team are utilised as effectively as possible. I aim to help them parent effectively throughout and after the process, ensuring their children do not suffer during the marriage breakdown.
