Meet your female coach & therapist for divorced and separated women.
about
Combining positive psychology, somatic trauma therapy and narcissistic abuse recovery coaching to support mothers through the most complex and difficult transitions of their lives.
I create a space for mums to step out of survival mode, where they feel understood, steadied and supported as they rebuild their lives.
Many of the mums I work with notice that even after the relationship ends, their body still feels as though it is bracing for what might happen next. They overthink, second-guess themselves and struggle to feel settled.
The work we do together focuses on helping you move out of that survival state.
Drawing on positive psychology, coaching psychology and somatic trauma-informed practices, I support mothers to:
- calm their nervous system and reduce overwhelm
- make sense of what they have been through
- rebuild trust in themselves and their decisions
- regain emotional steadiness and confidence
- begin to imagine a future that feels hopeful again
This work is gentle and grounded. It meets you where you are and supports you to move forward at a pace that feels manageable.
my approach
london divorce coach & therapist
I’m the founder of Mama’s Next Chapter - a divorce and separation coach for mothers. I am a devoted mama to a young child and much-loved fur baby based in North London supporting mother’s navigating separation or divorce.
After 12 years living as an expat in four different countries, the life I had planned ended. I was fortunate enough to be able to come home to London. But that didn’t come without it’s complications. I know first hand the challenges expat mothers face when separating and divorcing away from their home country and support network.
With a Master’s in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, I provide a compassionate approach and customised strategy to help you achieve peace, confidence and a positive way forward. I’m here to guide and empower you to overcome challenges and embrace new beginnings.
Specialist understanding of mothers
When a relationship ends during an expat chapter of life, the experience is even more complex. When you are separating from someone who display’s narcissistic tendencies, you can end up in a world far beyond any nightmare you could ever imagine. Being far from familiar systems and trusted support networks at this time exacerbates what is already a devastating experience in systems that are not designed to see the dynamics at play.
Navigating legal systems in a language you don’t understand without the close support of your own support network can intensify the sense of isolation that many mothers already feel during the separation period.
Having this perspective allows me to offer specialist separation and divorce support for expat mothers who are navigating these crushing circumstances.

why I created mama's next chapter
Separation and divorce can feel like one of the most disorienting periods of life. Having the right support during this time makes an enormous difference in how you navigate and how quickly you come through the other end.
I offer the presence of someone who understands both personally and professionally what your transition to becoming a separated or divorced mother feels like.
