The path to taking back your control starts here.
Navigating separation & divorce shouldn’t be done alone.
We are stronger, and braver, together.
About Danielle…
I am the strategic separation and divorce specialist coach for Australian women who are navigating separation, divorce and/or co-parenting with a controlling person. This includes women who are residing in Australia because their partner/co-parent is Australian.
I provide my clients with specialised strategic guidance, resources, tools and support to take back their control with less confusion, and importantly to move forward with greater certainty and confidence.
Part of my past training has included working with renowned US author and advocate, Tina Swithin (known for her One Moms Battle website and work in the space of narcissistic abuse),
*Have you thought that your current or former partner may be a “narcissist”, or perhaps may have ADHD, are Bipolar or something else that can present in a similar way to Narcissistic Personality Disorder? Do they often seem emotionally immature, and incapable of compromise or being reasonable? These characteristics and behaviours can fall into the category of “high-conflict”.
“Coaching with Danielle has helped me to carefully plan my separation from my controlling husband. There were so many things that I would have never have thought to do or put in place if it wasn’t for Danielle’s support.
My former husband has blamed me for so many years that I still sometimes doubt that things were as bad as I remember. Danielle is a fantastic sounding board every time I start to doubt myself or my reality. I am so thankful that my psychologist referred me to Danielle!”
“My lawyer could see that I was struggling emotionally and suggested that I connect with Danielle. Working with Danielle has been exactly what I have needed. I’m so much calmer every time I need to speak with my lawyer since working with Danielle. My lawyer has commented on how much better I will present in court, and my family members have noticed that I’m more positive in general now. Thank you Danielle!”
I understand what you’re dealing with.
I’ve been there, and done that.

What is a Strategic Separation & Divorce Coach, and why do you need one?
Even when it’s amicable, relationship breakdown is one of the most challenging things that people will ever face.
The stakes are even higher if you have been the victim of control or other forms and abuse, particularly if you are concerned that your ex is not going to let go of the control just because the relationship is over. (Unfortunately, continued attempts to control after separation are common).
After separation, it might feel like you are in a battle regarding money, property or even your kids.
I know how upsetting and frustrating it is when you want an ‘amicable’ and low-conflict separation, yet your former partner’s personality and behaviour gets in the way of reasonable conversation and compromise.
Having strategic, high-level support in the form of an experienced Separation & Divorce Coach can increase your odds of achieving a positive outcome, and preserving your sanity in the process!
Working with me also means that you are less likely to give in to the demands of a controlling former partner just to ‘get it over with’. (Giving in to demands doesn’t end the conflict forever, it just compromises your outcome).
My role in supporting my clients includes solution-focused and strategic support with mindset, and can also include guidance with parenting and co-parenting, preparation for things like mediation or court, and preparation for giving instructions to your lawyer.
Having an understanding of parenting matters, the court process and high-level strategy when dealing with a controlling or ‘high-conflict’ person is something that separates me as a specialist Separation and Divorce Coach from other divorce coaches.
When your ex is controlling, and may have other high-conflict personality traits, it’s in your best interests, and that of your kids, to have a skilled and knowledgeable strategy partner on your team.
You need a better way to approach your separation, divorce and co-parenting struggles.
You’ve come to the right place.
My clients choose to work with me for a number of reasons, including:
• To optimise the outcome for themselves and their children.
• To protect their children from further harm and trauma.
• To better understand the reality of the legal system, especially when it comes to parenting matters.
• To understand and process the loss of their marriage or long-term relationship in a way that is transformative and meaningful.
• To learn how to co-parent with their ex-partner, set boundaries and avoid conflict.
• To improve their chances of achieving a fair financial settlement - that doesn’t cost them their sanity or the clothes off their back in the process.
• To take back their control and move forward with calm confidence.
Separating from, divorcing and co-parenting with a controlling high-conflict person is an experience that is difficult to put into words.
Having labels or diagnoses for your ex, like “narcissist”, “ADHD” or “bipolar” can sometimes help to describe his personality and behaviour patterns.
Yet, without specialised resources and support, having a label for your ex is just going to keep you stuck and focused on him.
…Exactly where he wants your focus to be.
Labelling or attempting to 'diagnose' your ex (with a personality disorder, mental illness or with ADHD) also has the potential to severely undermine your credibility, and may negatively impact upon your experience (and outcome) in mediation or court.
You may have already been endlessly seeking a better way of doing things - but have been left feeling overwhelmed and confused.
Searching for a “silver bullet”…or waiting it out, hoping that things will magically get better on their own…
This can lead to feeling paralysed by worry and confusion.
I’m going to tell you a secret...
It’s not your fault.
You were probably never taught about the red flags of controlling high-conflict people, and you definitely weren’t prepared for the nightmarish reality of separating from a controlling person with high-conflict personality traits and behaviours.
You probably aren’t aware of the realities of family law and the court system, including how your presentation can affect how you are viewed by the Judge, mediators, Court Child Experts and even your own lawyer.
You don’t yet know how to best approach things like mediation and court-ordered evaluations, when your credibility and the outcome for you and your children is on the line.
It can be a struggle to manage your ex-partners twisted version of reality - a series of lies that may paint you as the aggressor, (or as being ‘crazy’ or ‘paranoid’) and you don’t know how to best protect yourself from false allegations, such as; ‘alienation’ and ‘gatekeeping’ (two favourite accusations used by abusers and their lawyers).
Instead, you may be relying on your ex calming down, and becoming reasonable, if you give in to them, and be nice to them. They’ll calm down eventually right?
Wrong.
