Why Do Your Clients Need a Divorce Coach?
You might be asking yourself why your clients need divorce coaching, why The Secret Majority specifically, and how referring to us will support you as the legal expert guiding them on their journey.
​
When your clients are faced with making so many overwhelming, life-changing, and often highly emotive decisions entwined with separation and divorce, they will likely experience emotional exhaustion. The experience of separation and divorce is phenomenally daunting and an exceptionally emotionally challenging experience. Being able to think clearly and 'see the wood for the trees'; what decisions need to be made and the impact of the many options for these decisions – can seem impossible and cripple clients at a time when they need the strength to keep going. That's where The Secret Majority comes in. We work alongside you, the legal expert, to provide expert, compassionate, and nuanced emotional support and strategies to your clients.
​
The Secret Majority has unique expertise in and around separation and divorce; the emotional impact, decision-making, legal aspects, co-parenting, the impact of divorce on children, and many other related issues. Our work comprises an amalgamation of coaching, psychology, sociological understanding, and therapy. We have a proven, unique model, developed specifically to support you in moving forward with integrity as you enter the end phase of your relationship. Nina, the founder of The Secret Majority, is a member of Resolution, sitting on the board for Leicestershire. She has presented at the Resolution National Conference and talks widely to family law firms on the emotional, psychological and social aspects of divorce.

Empowerment
Empowerment enables clients to make positive, informed, and confident decisions. When your client feels empowered, they have belief in themselves and their ability to move towards the place they want to be, supporting their work with you.
Empowerment is a guiding force in confidence growth and developing a positive outlook. When people are facing a separation or divorce, they need empowerment on their side. That’s why we are here: to work with them to identify the steps they need to take while finding their superpowers. and resiliance.
Perseverance
Perseverance is key. It is a conscious effort to continue despite the obstacles being faced. Simply put, perseverance is what will keep people going when they think you can go no more.
I am here to remind your clients of their ability to persevere, to help them find the strength and willpower to dig deep and emerge as a stronger version of themselves. Perseverance in times of divorce is especially important, as this transition may be one your client didn’t ask for, or one they didn’t see coming. But with the keys to truly unlock their ability to persevere, even when they feel you can’t, they will succeed and emerge stronger than they knew possible.
Kindness
Initially, it may seem a little odd; why might kindness be here? When your clients are facing separation or divorce, they will need to find a strength they didn’t know they had. They must work hard to keep moving forward, or they risk total overwhelm. But to move forward with purpose, integrity, and empowerment, which is our ultimate aim, your clients must be able to show themselves kindness.
The process of divorce can be brutal and utterly exhausting. When your clients are able to validate these feelings and allow themselves to stop and process these moments, they will be able to dig deeper and thrive in a way they didn't know possible. Self-kindness will boost your client's self-worth and the belief that they can reach the endpoint, increasing their motivation to keep moving forward with purpose
