I know, first-hand, how much difference the right support can make. Several years ago, I went through a tumultuous divorce of my own - and I know I would have benefited enormously from having a trauma-informed breakup coach by my side.
My solicitor was excellent, but so much of what I was carrying fell outside her remit. I'd find myself discussing it anyway - which meant heftier legal fees, without actually helping me move forward. My family and closest friends offered unwavering support too, and I'm deeply grateful for that. But looking back, I know I would have found my way back to myself, and back in charge of my own life, so much sooner with the guidance of an unbiased, empathetic coach - someone who truly understood breakup and divorce, especially in situations involving a high-conflict ex.
Looking further back still, I can see a pattern I didn't understand at the time: I kept finding myself in toxic relationships. I felt hurt, and often helpless, without knowing why the same dynamics kept repeating. I realised I couldn't manage or make sense of those feelings alone, anymore. My physical and emotional wellbeing were paying the price.
So I went searching - for answers, for support, for a way through. Slowly, some of those answers began to take shape. I found guidance from mentors along the way, people who helped me see something essential: that I was the one who had to take back control and make the changes that would actually shift my life in a positive way.
To become stronger, and to find more peace within myself, I had to understand why I kept letting certain people into my closest circles. That took years of reflection, and a great deal of honest self-inquiry. I also realised something powerful: I could take what I'd learned, and use it to help others navigating a similar terrain.
Today, I'm a trauma-informed, Master Practitioner, accredited Breakup and Divorce coach (plus many other things!). I support predominantly women navigating breakup, divorce, and post-separation abuse from high-conflict, controlling, &/or narcissistic exes. My special focus is helping mothers feel more empowered, more equipped, and more in control of their own lives - so they can be fully present for their children, and finally, fully present for themselves too.
Warmest wishes,
Amanda xo
