The Separation Space – Surviving & Thriving Through Your First 12 Months

Hi, we’re Rachel & Sam, Divorce & Separation Coaches and co founders of The Separation Space

rachel and sam - The Separation Space

After experiencing my own divorce in October 2023, my life changed in ways I never could have imagined. What followed was a period of deep reflection, growth, and courage and a decision to step into a new chapter by enrolling on a Divorce and Separation coaching course.

That’s where I met Sam.

From the very beginning, there was an immediate connection. We quickly realised we shared far more than professional interests we shared values, lived experience, and a deep passion for supporting people through one of the hardest seasons of our lives. Alongside that grew a remarkable friendship, and a quiet knowing that one day, we would work together in a meaningful way.

With our blended experiences personal journeys through separation, professional coaching expertise, and Sam’s invaluable paralegal insight we felt called to create something truly supportive. Something that holds people not just through the practical realities of divorce, but through the emotional, mental, and identity shifts that come with it.

We understand how overwhelming, disorientating, and deeply personal this chapter can feel. We know that divorce isn’t just about paperwork or decisions it’s about grief, fear, hope, exhaustion, and rebuilding trust in yourself. That’s why we support not only what’s happening on paper, but what’s happening within you.

In January 2026, The Separation Space was born, a 12-month programme created with love, intention, and lived understanding. It’s designed to steady you when everything feels uncertain, to help you rebuild confidence, reconnect with who you truly are, and move forward with clarity and purpose.

You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Introducing: The Separation Space

If you’re at the beginning, middle or end of a separation or divorce and finding yourself thinking,
“I don’t recognise my life anymore,” this space is for you.

Together with the brilliant Sam (Divorce & Separation Coach & Paralegal), I’m proud to introduce The Separation Space a 12-month supportive programme designed to hold, guide, and support you through one of the most challenging transitions of your life.

Divorce and separation don’t just change your relationship status. They affect your thoughts, emotions, confidence, choices, and sense of identity, often long after the paperwork is finished. This programme is for anyone at any stage of separation or divorce: before, during, after, or even years later, who wants space to heal, rebuild, and move forward with clarity.

This isn’t about “getting through it” alone.

It’s about being supported, challenged, and gently guided as you rebuild your life, one month at a time.

What This 12-Month Journey Supports You With

Over the year, we will help you to:

  • Navigate the emotional chaos of separation
  • Rebuild confidence when it feels lost or shaken
  • Make sense of who you are now
  • Strengthen your emotional resilience
  • Unlock the courage to make changes that feel aligned
  • Discover that there is a life beyond divorce, one that can feel calmer, stronger, and more authentic than before

Each month, we focus on a key topic relevant to separation and divorce. You’ll also have the opportunity to submit questions or themes privately and anonymously, allowing the conversations to meet you exactly where you are.

Our aim is to create a supportive community where guidance is readily available, because separation is one of life’s most traumatic experiences, second only to the loss of a loved one. It is a lot to carry, and you don’t have to carry it alone.

How Real, Lasting Change Happens

At the heart of The Separation Space is a simple but powerful framework that recognises how change truly occurs. We work gently with five interconnected areas of your life:

  • Circumstances — the external realities you’re facing
  • Thoughts — the stories you tell yourself about what’s happening
  • Feelings — the emotional responses those thoughts create
  • Actions — how you respond, cope, or protect yourself
  • Results — the confidence, wellbeing, and life you’re building

Rather than pushing through or fixing one area in isolation, we support you in understanding how these elements connect, creating change that feels grounded, sustainable, and compassionate.

This programme isn’t about rushing your healing or forcing positivity.
It’s about creating space, to stabilise, to reflect, to rebuild trust in yourself, and to move forward with confidence, at your own pace.

Divorce isn’t the end of your story.

But it is a turning point, and you don’t have to walk it alone.

Why this SPACE is so “Life-Changing”

The Separation Space is here to support you as you navigate divorce and separation, helping you regain clarity, confidence, and a sense of control during a time of change. Our approach is grounded in coaching, reflection, and practical tools that support both your emotional wellbeing and your next steps forward.

It’s possible to end the year with a life that feels “unrecognizable” compared to where you started, not because of magical circumstances, but because of the daily, intentional process of change. 

Sam and I are really looking forward to welcoming you into this journey. We’re honoured to support you over the year ahead and to witness the growth, strength, and confidence you’ll build along the way.
