Hi, I’m Caron, a Divorce Coach specialising in supporting people in abusive and controlling relationships or dealing with post-separational abuse.
I’m happily re-married (the proof there is life afterwards!).
I am a Master Practitioner Divorce Coach. I worked for many years as a domestic abuse specialist (or Independent Domestic Violence Advocate if you want the long version) at my local domestic abuse charity, The Dash Charity, supporting survivors in high-risk abusive relationships and educating professionals on how to respond better.
I am passionate about raising awareness and am often found on a podcast or being interviewed to offer advice on abusive relationships. If I’m not working, you will usually find me snuggled on the sofa with Reggie, my bulldog.
Why did I set up my business?
Because I remember what it was like trying to leave my abusive relationship – how scary, confusing and overwhelming it was. Like many people, I thought leaving my divorce would be the end of the abuse, but it wasn’t.
I made some rubbish decisions that affected me for many years afterwards and I didn’t want anyone else to make the same mistakes I did. At the time I didn’t understand my Rights, understand the legal systems, I was paralysed with fear, frightened and feeling hopeless. I felt there was nobody else who understood my situation.
Fast forward several years and I was aware of the lack of practical help and emotional support for people trying to escape from abusive and controlling relationships. I knew the ideal scenario would be to have someone alongside you, who ‘gets it’, someone who could offer non-judgemental guidance, support and advice and be there every step of the way.
I have combined all my personal experience, my professional experience, skills, tools and strategies I have learnt along the way, to offer a bespoke service that means you don’t have to go through divorce, separation and abuse, alone.
If you are at the beginning of your journey, in the ‘thick of it’ or struggling to recover after separation, you don’t have to do it alone. I can help you get past the hurt, anger and pain and move towards a life where you can be free again, where you can take back control and thrive again.
My message to you
Recognising that I had to take control of my happiness, learning how to let go of the guilt, understanding how to manage my ex and find better ways of coping, were all keys to my recovery. There’s never a perfect time to make big changes. Take control over your future happiness today and get in touch!
By the end of the complimentary call I guarantee you will feel more positive, have more clarity and feel more confident about your future.
