If you are thinking about separating, newly separated, still living under the same roof, or lying awake at night trying to work out what happens next — this session is for you.

Separation can feel like every part of your life is suddenly asking for an answer at once. And when your nervous system is overwhelmed, even the smallest next step can feel too big.

You are not alone.

This is for you if you are asking

Do any of these sound familiar?

How do I separate?
What do I do first?
How do I leave in a way that feels calm and clear?
How do I tell my partner?
How do I tell the kids?
What should I have in place before I speak to a lawyer?
How do I stop spiralling?
How do I manage communication without everything becoming a fight?
How do I make decisions when I feel emotional, scared or exhausted?
How do I separate in a healthier and smarter way?
That is exactly what this session is for. You can come not knowing what to ask. You can come unsure whether you are ready.

What this session is

Practical, grounded support for the early stage of separation.

This is a practical support session for the early, messy or uncertain stage of separation. Together, we talk through what is happening in your real life — emotionally, practically, relationally, and where relevant, as a parent.

This session is not

  • About pushing you into a decision
  • About telling you what your separation should look like
  • About overwhelming you with more information
  • Legal advice, financial advice, or therapy
  • A crisis support service

This session is

  • About helping you understand where you are right now
  • About identifying what matters most in this moment
  • About creating your next clear, practical steps
  • A calm, grounded space to make sense of what feels overwhelming
  • Shaped entirely around your situation

What we may cover

Every separation is different.

This session is shaped around you. Depending on what is happening, we may work through:

What stage of separation you are in
What feels urgent and what can wait
What decisions need to be made first
What conversations need to happen next
How to communicate with your former partner
How to support your children through the early stage
What boundaries may need to be put in place
What information you may need before seeing a lawyer
What questions to ask your lawyer, mediator or financial adviser
How to steady yourself emotionally so you can make clearer decisions
What support you need around you right now

This is not about solving everything in one session.
It is about helping you leave with more clarity, more direction, and a plan you can actually follow.

What you walk away with

A plan that feels practical, personal and grounded.

1
A clearer understanding of where you are right nowMake sense of what stage you are in and what is actually happening.
2

Why work with Nikki?

Hi, I'm Nikki.

Divorce Doula Divorce Coach Separation Strategist Parenting Coordinator Co-Parenting Coach Parents Under Pressure Therapist Family Law Expert TEDx Speaker

I have spent over two decades working in and around the family law system. And I have moved through my own separation.

I know that separation is not just a legal process. It is emotional. It is practical. It is financial. It is relational. It affects your children, your home, your work, your body, and your sense of self.

"That is why this session looks at the whole picture — not just one piece of it."

My role is to help you untangle what is happening, understand your options, prepare for the next steps, and move through separation with more clarity, confidence and steadiness.

You do not need to have everything worked out before you book. You just need somewhere steady to start.

Important: This session provides separation coaching, education and practical support. It is not legal advice, financial advice, therapy or crisis support. If you are experiencing family violence, coercive control, or are worried about your immediate safety, please seek urgent specialist support. We can also talk through what support you may need around you.

You do not need to have everything worked out before you book. You just need somewhere steady to start.

Common questions

What you might be wondering

Is this the same as therapy or counselling?

No. This is a coaching and support session, not therapy. We are focused on practical next steps, clarity, and helping you feel steadier and more prepared — not on processing the past or providing psychological treatment. If you need therapeutic support, Nikki can help you think through what is available.

Is this legal advice?

No. Nikki is not your lawyer and this session does not constitute legal advice. What it does is help you understand the landscape, know what questions to ask, and feel prepared before you see a lawyer — so you can use that time (and money) more effectively.

What if I'm not sure I'm ready to separate?

This session is not about pushing you into a decision. Many people come not knowing what they want — only knowing that they are overwhelmed and need clarity. You can come with questions, with a messy situation, or not knowing what to ask at all. That is what this session is for.

I'm still living with my former partner. Can I still book?

Yes. Many people come to this session while still living together — navigating the period before physically separating is one of the most confusing and emotionally draining phases. This session can help you think through how to handle that situation practically and calmly.

How does the 7-day follow-up support work?

After your session, you have 7 days to follow up with questions as they come up — by email or message. This gives you a safety net as you start to act on your plan. You are not left alone the moment the session ends.

What if I need more support after the session?

The Separation Support Session is designed as a starting point. At the end of your session, Nikki will give you a clear picture of what kind of ongoing support might help — whether that is continued coaching, specialist referrals, or other resources. There is no pressure to commit to anything.

You don't need to have
everything worked out.

You just need somewhere steady to start. Book your Separation Support Session and leave with a clearer plan for what comes next.
