My Services in a Nutshell...

Individual Consultancy

Who to call and where to start? How to know the best procedural options for you / your children? I can help you make a plan which can save you time, costs and stress, or check in with me to sound things out along the way. 

Individual
Coaching

Stress / anger / grief / sadness / overwhelm - can all be helped with the right support.

You need your best headspace to mediate, advocate or negotiate in the way that serves you best. Future you may need that help too. 

Couples Consult
& Coaching

I can work with a couple together for initial roadmap meetings if that is appropriate. I inform of viable options where they can work to keep acrimony out and costs in check, whilst not compromising professional input.  

Couples
Mediation

With the right structure and support mediation can effectively facilitate couples in agreeing as much between themselves as possible - keeping costs down and away from court. In suitable cases it can prove invaluable.

Forward
Planning

Once the process is over there are important steps to take to make sure you are in the best shape going forward - legally and financially. I want to help you not have to figure this all out (as I did!) with a post breakup wind up / start fresh session too. 

My Story

I am a dual qualified (UK & Ireland) former solicitor who has been through a divorce myself.  Coupled with a wealth of life experience, I am an accredited mediator and divorce coach (credentials) - I know how this works.  As well as knowing what works, I know - more importantly - what doesn't. 

​

I look back on my own divorce with pride - we both walked away with our finances and our dignity intact and that's what I want for you too.  There will of course be testing times but I believe that the divorce process need not crush you, either financially, or emotionally, if you have the right help in place. 

​

Every divorce is a different human story, If you're not sure where to begin, or feel like you need a different perspective I can help you figure out a clearer way through.  There is a welcome shift with some brilliant industry professionals towards non-adversarial routes to resolving blocks to settlement but if you need to go to court (sometimes it is unavoidable) you will need good guidance too. Clarity, mindset and control of the process are key. If you need constructive emotional support (see here) at any stage I can come on board your bench too. ​

Wherever you are in the stages of a divorce - contemplating, planning, or in the middle of the process, I can help you.

“Having not been through the divorce process before it became something of a minefield for me to navigate - forever escalating legal fees and not being able to find an acceptable resolution were taking its toll on my mental health and the process was lengthy (almost 7 years since separation!). Thankfully I was introduced to Dede who was a pleasure to speak with, understanding, knowledgeable with a great network. She helped me see the situation from a different perspective and was very supportive. I ended up going to the Final Divorce Hearing with a McKenzie Friend accompanying me and helping to prepare the required documentation and questions and came out with what I believe to be a fair result. Thank you Dede!”
