“I first reached out to Caron at a time where I was having very deep relationship issues but still couldn’t work out whether or not to continue to try and make it work or end it. There was a lot at stake for me and I had two very young children at the time (1 and 3). I was scared and could not project myself on my own.

She gave me some good tools to consider my relationship. Even though her title was “divorce coach” and I think she saw all the red flags, she also realized I wasn’t “ready” and didn’t push me one way or another.

I reached out to her again a couple of years later when my relationship reached a point of no return. I came to realize I was in an abusive relationship, and with Caron by my side I started a long journey to get out of this relationship and slowly learn to protect myself from the abuse, as well as rebuild myself. 

Caron’s support is as much about the pragmatic yet complex elements of separating (the law, mediations, the institutions around separation such as family courts, the police, social services etc) as also the emotional side of getting out of a difficult or abusive relationship, and educating yourself to become stronger and not let yourself be controlled. She has also helped me with all the parenting aspects of going through a separation or dealing with a narcissistic parent. Caron has an extensive network within the relevant institutions and charities which has also been immensely helpful.

This is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life and I honestly don’t know how I could have done it, survived or stayed sane without Caron. Even if you’re not sure what you want to do yet, just call her!’’
