What is a Separation Coach?
A separation coach can be incredibly valuable during the breakdown of a relationship or marriage, because they provide structured, practical, and emotional support at a time when people often feel overwhelmed. Here are some key benefits:
Emotional Support & Clarity
- Helps manage the emotional rollercoaster of separation (grief, anger, fear, guilt).
- Provides a neutral, non-judgmental space to process feelings.
- Helps you stay calm and make decisions with clarity rather than reacting impulsively.
Practical Guidance
- Breaks down what needs to be done step-by-step (legal, financial, parenting, housing).
- Keeps you organised with deadlines, documents, and tasks.
- Connects you with the right professionals (lawyers, mediators, financial advisors, counsellors).
Better Communication
- Helps you navigate difficult conversations with your ex or family.
- Offers strategies to reduce conflict and focus on constructive dialogue.
- Especially valuable if children are involved, keeping their wellbeing at the centre.
Empowerment & Confidence
- Encourages you to take control of decisions, not just leave everything to lawyers.
- Builds resilience and self-belief during a vulnerable time.
- Helps you reframe the separation as a chance for growth and new beginnings.
Cost & Stress Reduction
- By keeping you organised and clear-headed, a coach can reduce reliance on expensive legal hours.
- Minimises drawn-out disputes, which saves money and emotional energy.

Testimonials
Everyone's separation and divorce journey is unique. Here are a few friends we've helped get through it, and thrive on the other end.
Anita
When faced with the most difficult time in mine and my children's lives, Separation Support Network was exceptional in helping us deal with every aspect of the separation from counselling, to helping me work out my priorities and goals. I found them to be dedicated, passionate, professional and confidential, and I saved a fortune in the process.
Nathan
Susan and her team were amazing. When I was at a point in my life when things were spiralling out of control, she helped me to really listen, helped me communicate with my son and encourage our contact, and assisted with my parenting and financial matters. When I needed help in my darkest moments, Susan was ready to assist.
Kate
Two years ago when my partner left me, I was devastated. I hadn't seen it coming. I felt very lonely and extremely confused. Susan helped me the whole way from counselling to helping me communicate with my ex, right up to everything I needed to do for the consent orders. I could not have done it without Susan's help.
Meet Susan Crain
Separation & Divorce Coach
Even when relationships end, families don't have to be destroyed. Our mission is to help you transition with dignity.
Having completed a Law degree majoring in psychology and then witnessing the devastating impact lengthy, bitter, expensive family court fights had on everyone in a family (in the short and long term), our CEO, Susan Crain, became disillusioned with the legal system. She was determined to find ways to offer alternate solutions for her clients that didn’t take such a huge financial, legal, emotional, and physical toll on them. Decades later, Susan’s strategies have proven highly successful for hundreds of clients across Australia and New Zealand.
Separation Support Network was established and commenced operating as a social enterprise offering wrap-around, one-on-one services, resources, and support networks to Australian and New Zealand clients considering separation, going through separation, or emerging from divorce.
