Questions frequently asked about divorce coaching
How do I know if I am ready for divorce coaching?
You will realize that you need to move ahead with your life, but you are just not sure about the how, when, and why. This is when you are ready to begin with me
How do I get started?
Contact me via e-mail or phone, and we will schedule your consultation. We can then work together to set your goals and to begin your plans to move forward on this new chapter of your life.
How does divorce coaching work?
Coaching sessions are one-on-one and tailored to your individual needs. Nan works with clients coast-to-coast, and offers flexible options for meeting, including in-person appointments, telephone sessions, and video calls via Zoom or Microsoft Teams. She works with each client to create a schedule and approach that fits their individual circumstances.
I have an attorney. Isn’t that who can get me through the process? Why do I need a coach?
Of course, an individual cannot and should not go the divorce process without an attorney for legal representation. Keeping that in mind, I organize and help sort through the maze of endless issues that arise. Attorneys can empathize with your problems, but their job is really about to helping you to resolve legal issues. Think of coaching as a specific professional service that is different than that of your lawyer. Our coaching sessions are really about you. This can help to make your attorney’s job of handling the legal aspects more manageable and efficient.
How do you charge for your services?
Each session is customized to meet the client’s individual needs, and fees are discussed during the initial consultation.
Are there special areas within divorce coaching?
Divorce coaching can overlap with several other areas, including parent coaching, teen coaching, and relationship coaching. Sessions may focus on parenting challenges during a separation or divorce, helping parents understand the unique concerns facing teenagers, and navigating both existing and new relationships during times of transition.
Because every situation is different, coaching can also address the bigger picture and the individual circumstances you may be juggling—from communication and family dynamics to rebuilding your personal life and deciding when you may be ready to begin dating again.
How do I prepare for coaching?
I will provide a short questionnaire to collect your general information about you and your family, work, etc. You might like to make a list of specific concerns or questions. When we meet we can discuss the areas we will cover and how we can work together to explore your concerns and questions.
What if I don’t know what questions to ask you?
Our process will be a two-way conversation. Think about the areas of your life—family, friends, children, work, activities, etc. Make some notes about each area as they relate to your relationship challenges and possible divorce.
How do you coach clients coast-to -coast?
Although based in Pittsburgh, I work with clients across the country through flexible virtual coaching options. Sessions are available by phone or video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and FaceTime. Email and phone support are also available as needed.
