Divorce is an emotionally draining process but you don’t have to go through it alone. I am a divorce coach in Vermont and I work with people who are experiencing relationship struggles, separation, divorce and other life transitions. I offer a safe and confidential space for you to work through your experiences, get your priorities organized and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Therapy and coaching are both useful forms of support, but they are intended for different needs. It helps people to heal from emotional difficulties related to experiences such as trauma, grief, divorce, anxiety, depression, and other major life events. A licensed therapist can help people learn better coping skills, understand their emotions better, improve emotional regulation, and work towards better mental and emotional health.
Coaching is for people who are ready to work on themselves and on what’s next. Coaching is not about mental health issues, it is about finding out where you are, what you want, how to prioritise and how to get there realistically to make positive changes. Purpose: To build momentum toward the future they want to create, while fostering accountability, confidence, and intentional decision-making.
The main difference between therapy and coaching is the direction of the work. Therapy focuses on healing emotional wounds and issues that may be limiting daily functioning. Coaching focuses on creating a clear path forward through planning, structure, and goal oriented action. They all have a different purpose . The best way forward depends on where a person is at the moment and what she or he wants to do .
Many people opt to work with both a therapist and a coach because the two services complement each other. Therapy helps heal emotionally, and coaching gives practical help with setting goals, making mindful choices and creating lasting progress. To learn more about the difference between therapy and divorce coaching, please see my blog post, “What are the differences between therapy and coaching?”
Coaching has become a valuable resource for those seeking guidance through marriage, divorce and major life changes because it combines the emotional support with practical decision-making. In the years I’ve supported clients through these important transitions, I’ve witnessed the power coaching has to help people understand themselves better, plan their priorities, and step confidently into the future they desire. The coaching process encourages profound reflection and helps clients create action plans for sustainable personal development.
Coaching helps you build self-awareness and make intentional choices if you are thinking about marriage, working through relationship problems, or going through the challenges of divorce. We work together to identify personal values, clarify goals, recognize emotional patterns and develop practical strategies that foster healthier relationships and a more purposeful direction in life.
Coaching has great value in helping clients get the most out of the professional services they engage through the divorce process. Lawyers are important to protect legal rights and handle legal matters, but they usually don’t provide emotional guidance, personal growth, or future planning. Coaching is a supplement to legal representation in those important areas, providing personalized support and structured conversations.
Coaching combined with legal services can also help avoid unnecessary legal costs by making sure nonlegal concerns are handled in the right place. Coaching is about helping clients process emotions, make big decisions, organize next steps and access additional resources as needed. This holistic approach brings greater clarity, more confidence and a smoother road through divorce and other major life transitions.
