- You are not sure whether to keep trying or to let the relationship go.
- The decision has been made and you are bracing for what comes next.
- You were blindsided, and you are reeling from a choice you did not make.
- You are trying to separate without destroying each other, especially for the kids.
- The divorce is done, but the grief and the questions are not.
- You are exhausted, foggy, and struggling to function through it all.
How I work through separation
Whatever you decide, you will not be pushed. My job is to support you, not to steer the outcome.
No agenda either way
I will not tell you to leave or to stay. I help you get clear on what you actually want, so the decision is yours and you can stand behind it.
Steady through the storm
Separation scrambles sleep, focus and emotion. A calm, regular space to think clearly and feel supported while everything else is in motion.
Alone or together
Come on your own to find your footing, or as a couple to separate with less damage. Both are valid, and we can shift as your situation changes.
What this support can help with
There is no right way to do this, only the way that does the least harm to everyone, including you.
Deciding whether to separate
A clear, unpressured space to work out whether to repair or to part, without anyone pushing the outcome.
Separating well
Reducing the conflict and damage when you do part, so it is as respectful and clean as it can be.
Co-parenting after
Finding a workable way to keep parenting together when the relationship is over, with the children at the centre.
The grief of divorce
Divorce is a loss, even when it is the right call. Space to grieve the marriage, the future you pictured, and the life you knew.
Being left
Support when the decision was not yours, and you are carrying shock, anger and a self-worth that has taken a hit.
Rebuilding afterwards
Finding yourself again on the other side, and slowly building a life that feels like yours.
If you are not ready to give up on the relationship, you may want marriage counselling instead, or the broader couples counselling work.
I am not here to push you toward leaving or staying. Plenty of people arrive unsure, and the work is helping you find your own clear answer rather than handing you mine. Sometimes that clarity is a renewed decision to repair. Sometimes it is the steady realisation that it is time to part. Both are honourable, and both deserve support.
Where there are children, doing this with less conflict is one of the most protective things you can give them. That, more than any particular outcome, is what good separation support is really for.
Across the Gold Coast, privately from home
Sessions are held online or by phone, which matters when your life and your living situation may be in flux.
“I was able to see core issues that I was not able to recognise before.”Ellie
You can join from wherever you are now, from Southport to Robina to a friend’s spare room, without a clinic visit or a shared waiting room, and without explaining yourself to anyone. For people in the middle of a separation, that privacy and flexibility often makes the difference. It also means support does not stop just because your address or your week has changed.
“For the first time in a long time I am finally thriving again.”Shannon

Can I come on my own, or do we both have to attend?
Either works. Many people come alone to get clear on what they want and to find their footing. Others come as a couple to separate with less conflict. You can start on your own and bring your partner in later, or not, whatever fits your situation.
Will you tell me whether to leave or stay?
No. That decision is yours, and I will not steer it. My role is to help you get clear on what you actually want and need, so that whatever you decide, you can stand behind it. Sometimes the work renews a marriage; sometimes it helps someone part well. Both are valid.
How do you help with the kids?
By supporting you to separate with less conflict and to keep co-parenting workable, with the children’s wellbeing at the centre. Reducing the conflict your children are exposed to is one of the most protective things you can do for them.
Are you a psychologist?
No. I am a counsellor with a background in psychology, social work and human services, and I do not diagnose or prescribe. For the emotional side of separation, counselling is the natural fit. If you need a diagnosis or a Medicare rebate, a registered psychologist is the right path.
What does it cost to find out if it is right for me?
Nothing. The first step is a free 15-minute assessment, with no card and no obligation. It is a genuine conversation, not a sales call, so you can decide in your own time. There is honestly nothing to lose by having it.
What if there is abuse or fear involved?
If there is abuse or fear, your safety comes first. Please contact 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 for confidential support and advice, and in an emergency call 000.
