Going through a divorce is probably the worst thing that can happen to a once-loving couple. But when it is the only solution to maintain a level of civility between them or ensure the future of their children, it becomes a necessary evil…

Divorce is a trying time for everyone involved. But you don’t have to be alone. Speak to a Divorce Coach and get clarity and direction about your situation. Under the circumstances, you need someone to think on your behalf and help you keep a level head in situations where you’ll be forgiven for going berserk.

What is a Divorce Coach?

A Divorce Coach provides support, guidance, and motivation for people going through a separation or divorce. The goal is to provide a flexible, goal-oriented process so the ones going through a divorce can reach the best possible decision based on their concerns, interests, and needs. Divorce Coaches can come from different professional backgrounds-financial planners, lawyers, mediators, or mental health professionals. This allows clients to choose one based on their specific needs. To be clear, coaching is nothing like counseling or therapy or anything clinical in nature. No diagnosis is made and it is not based on a medical diagnosis either, although this is the common assumption.Coaching doesn’t dig deep into your past to get a better understanding of the root causes of your problem. A coach isn’t a substitute for a lawyer, either. They don’t offer legal advice but will explain the legal process of a divorce in language that you can easily understand.

How does a Divorce Coach work exactly?

A Divorce Coach helps a client build the ability and confidence to manage all the processes involved in their divorce. This way, they gain greater satisfaction from the outcome. A Divorce Coach can:

• Train you to properly deal with a divorce’s dynamics, especially in daily living, emotional, and legal aspects
• Help you collaborate with your lawyer in a more cost-effective and efficient manner, providing information as to what documents to prepare and the details to collect
• Provide the hand-holding you need from someone when you are not willing to share the burden with your family or your lawyer
• Listen to your complaints about your ex-spouse and then provide tips on how to respond to triggers to ensure a better outcome
• Help you navigate through the transition and your life after divorce, especially in facing challenges once your lawyer closes the file and serves their role
• Help you achieve your goals following the life-changing event
• Teach you how to remain patient and calm by providing you with information about the various stages of the divorce process and how to appropriately deal with each one

At Naked Divorce we have services across the whole journey as follows:

How do you find the right Divorce Coach for your needs?

Qualifications

As already mentioned, Divorce Coaches come from different professional backgrounds and you should use this knowledge to your advantage. For example, if you want a coach to look into your finances closely, you should hire a financial planner or manager. If you are looking into settling outside of court, someone with a background in mediation will help. Naked Divorce has a team ready to assist with the whole divorce journey.

Check training classes and certifications

Given the role that coaches have to play in your life, they should be equipped with the skills and knowledge to help you out. There are many types of divorce coach training available and these cover a range of areas, from dealing with emotions to life after divorce. Certifications, on the other hand, vary according to the specific training undertaken by the individual. Your coach can be certified in divorce transition and can help you rebuild your life after your marriage is declared null and void.

Consider your budget

How much or how little can you afford to burn on divorce coaching, taking into account other fees involved in the divorce process? It is important that you look into the cost of services provided and what you really need help with. If you don’t have a lot of money to go through, make sure to achieve a balance between the two: cost and the services you need.
