Separation and divorce are among the hardest things you'll navigate. Whether it comes as a shock or has been building for years, the moment it becomes real marks the start of a period where decisions made quickly and under pressure can shape your life - and your finances - for a very long time.
That's where having the right person in your corner makes all the difference.
I work with anyone going through separation as a neutral, experienced guide - helping you think clearly when everything feels chaotic, communicate more effectively when conversations with your ex go off the rails, prepare properly before you spend a dollar on legal advice, and make decisions you'll still feel good about months down the track. I particularly encourage men to reach out. In my experience they often find it harder to ask for support during this process, and their interests and voice matter just as much.
The areas I can help with include how to communicate with your ex in a way that reduces conflict, how to support your children through the transition, how to get the most out of your time with lawyers and mediators, and how to keep functioning at work when home life is in upheaval.
The investment - and why it matters
One of the most consistent things clients tell me is that working with me saved them money they were dreading spending on legal fees. Good decisions made early, with a clear head, cost far less than reactive ones made under pressure.
My most popular package is ten sessions plus two hours of flexible non-session time - time you can use for things like reviewing correspondence, support at mediation, or attendance at hearings. The full package is NZ$980.
To put that in perspective: that's often less than a single hour with a senior family lawyer, for a depth of support that helps you arrive at those legal appointments far better prepared - and far less likely to need as many of them.
Your first 30-minute consultation is free. Reach out by email or phone and let's talk about where you are and what you need.
