Nichola Williams – Relationship Coach specialising in Divorce & Separation

Going through a divorce is one of life’s most challenging times anyone might have to face. It’s not just the end of a relationship, it can feel like the end of a life you once knew, dreams and hopes you thought you were heading towards. All the love you once felt and experienced can all of a sudden feel like transactional business deals. You’re now finding yourself having to navigate practical concerns like finances and co-parenting all the while managing the overwhelm of hurt, pain, grief, loss, and uncertainty of the future.

How do I know all this? Because I went through it myself, I was just where you are right now. I was struggling to find the help I really needed, someone who had actually been in my shoes and understood how it felt, someone who could help me create a future that felt hopeful and bright. That’s why I decided to specialise in helping other people struggling to navigate their way through this turbulent time of life.

I help you process your grief, anger, sorrow, and loss while giving you the tools to help regulate so you don’t feel stuck there. Going through divorce can make you question a lot of things about yourself, I help you rediscover your sense of self and self-esteem. I have practical tools to help you co-parent in a way that focuses on the children’s wellbeing. I help you to create boundaries that are more aligned with your values and your true self. And finally I help you to vision a new future, ONLY when the time feels right for you.

I know it might not feel like it yet, but I believe, one day, you will look back at this time as a turning point for growth. You will be incredibly proud of how far you have come, you will feel more confident, more wiser, more grateful, and more compassionate.

I would love to be there with you and help you move through this difficult time.
