About Me
Catherine Marie Clarke brings over a decade of expertise as a seasoned counsellor, Family Dispute Resolution practitioner, and specialized Divorce Coach. Her forte lies in Narrative Therapy, offering a holistic wellness approach tailored to guide individuals through the intricate journey of divorce.
With personal experience navigating the challenges of a late-life divorce in her 50s, Catherine intimately understands the unique complexities and emotional nuances that accompany such a pivotal life transition.
As a Divorce Coach, Catherine serves as a strategic ally, adept at navigating the legal and financial aspects of divorce. While your lawyer provides legal expertise, Catherine’s role is to optimize your legal interactions, channelling them towards a sequence of outcome-focused goals. This approach not only streamlines the process but also saves valuable time and resources.
Empathy forms the cornerstone of Catherine’s counselling practice, as she provides unwavering support through the kaleidoscope of emotions inherent in divorce. From the pain, shame, and loneliness, a sense of newfound freedom and relief, to the daunting realisation of starting a new life — Catherine recognises and addresses the spectrum of emotions. Identity crises and self-care challenges that often emerge during this period, and her counselling approach is tailored to tackle these sensitive issues.
Central to her methodology is the emphasis on your narrative—the internal dialogue that shapes your perceptions and responses. Catherine’s aim is to transform that inner voice into a supportive companion rather than a harsh critic. She empowers individuals to craft a life that aligns with their best selves, particularly during the overwhelming phase of later life transitions.
By focusing on your narrative and facilitating a shift in perspective, Catherine ensures that you not only weather the storm of divorce but emerge stronger, empowered, and aligned with a life that champions your well-being and personal growth.
