How to go from Break Up to Break Through..

 
 
 

People visit The Divorce Doctor when they have the symptoms of relationship breakdown.

This does not necessarily mean that they will divorce. During the past 14 years I have created a programme designed specifically to save marriages. My methods differ from Relate, counselling and therapy because I offer immediate, easy to apply tools and strategies to couples and individuals who want to get past upset and move forward with their relationships.

Sometimes a long term relationship or marriage just cannot be saved and for these couples and individuals I offer the emotional and practical skills necessary to help them to stay sane during the craziest time of their lives.

Why Visit the Divorce Doctor?

Take a look at the following questions. If you answer ‘yes’ to three or more, then I can help you. Just give me a call on 0208 416 0121 between 9am and 6pm. We’ll have an informal assessment chat, get to know each other and decide together the best way forward. It’s always good to talk!

  • If you are divorced I will help you to regain ‘full health’, heal your heart and learn to love again

HOW IT WORKS

Choose from Individual One to One Coaching or Couples Coaching Programmes. You may have recognised your own situation in the above services and become more aware that you could benefit from professional support right now. I offer Face to Face and Telephone Coaching as well as email back up, so it doesn’t matter where in the world you live

First things First : Your Complimentary Assessment Call.

Often people send me emails requesting information about sessions and prices. I always ask them to just give me a call so we can have an informal chat and I can assess the situation.

I want to know about you and your relationship before I go ahead and book you in to work with me. And that’s exactly what we will do on our complimentary assessment call. As you speak to me, you will find that its much easier to know what skills you will need to get you from where you are now to where you need to be. You’ll also hear how, specifically, I will work with you, by using a practical down to earth approach that will provide you with the clarity and focus to make the right choices going forward.  So just give me a call, and lets get talking.

Next Step: Deciding To Work With Me

When I have assessed your situation and we decide to work together, I will send you a Pre-Meeting/Call Questionnaire for you to complete before our first session, which may be face to face or on the telephone. At this point we discuss our confidentiality agreement, how many sessions we will need and fees payable.

First Session: 2 and one half hour face to face or telephone meeting

This is where the real work begins one step at a time. My aim is to show you how to build a solid foundation for your future whether you stay together or decide to part. During our first meeting we will be addressing the issues arising from our complimentary assessment session. With an understanding of your situation, I will give you a unique and specific skill, which will show you how, you got to ‘here’ from ‘there’. You’ll learn how it happened and why it happened and exactly what you now need to know so you can move forward with your life and avoid repeating the same patterns ever again.

Second, third, fourth and fifth sessions

Sessions two to five are 90-minute telephone meetings. When you have completed all the sessions you will have every skill and strategy you need to choose the right way forward for you. You’ll understand how you operate in relationship; your rules for relationship, how to get away from negative self-talk and how to create communication miracles that get you heard and understood. Any worries and fears about the present and future will be ironed out and as because you’ll have had time to digest all you have learned, you will have a complete understanding of yourself and be fully equipped to make some life changing choices. By the end of these sessions you will feel calmer and you’ll have the clarity that will allow you to view the future positively. I promise!

COUPLES COACHING

If both of you decide to work with me, when you begin your Couples Coaching, each of you will work with me on your own for the same amount of sessions as above. I don’t believe in putting two upset people in a room together and talking about their ‘issues’. It goes a whole lot deeper than that. I have found that working with couples on an individual basis to start with allows each person to feel heard and understood. In the first sessions you are working on yourself to discover how you ‘operate’ in relationship so that you are fully prepared and ready to meet as a couple for the joint session. This is a one off three-hour session, which I facilitate. It sounds a long time but we have a great deal of work to cover and the time just flies. After the session, you will receive specific homework to use over the next few weeks before you return for a one-hour review session. Thereafter, review sessions are scheduled in as appropriate.

Please contact me to find out availability and prices for both Individual and Couples Coaching.

What People Say:

"Working with Francine has helped me to face reality. We have different values and they are so far apart that we don’t have anything in common any more and I doubt if we ever did. Funnily enough I actually feel a great sense of relief because I have spent so many years trying to be what he wants and going against everything I am. Now I understand that although our relationship is over its not my fault or his and we can both move on. I just wish I had known this five years ago."  SANDIE

"I’ve realised that I was unconscious in my relationship with Tim. I wasn’t living in reality but more in my fantasy of what a relationship should be like. Through understanding myself better, I’ve woken up. I’m ready to be me again. We can’t thank you enough. Both of us have learned so much about ourselves working with you. One thing we know is that we do still love each other and both of us are willing to do what it takes to make this work."  CHRISSY L

"We came to Francine for relationship coaching because we had reached a point where we really needed help - we couldn’t do it ourselves. From the very first meeting on the phone, to the face to face meetings we have had, we have both felt safe, challenged and loved by Francine. The breakthrough came when we explored what it would be like to be outside the relationship - and then looked at what it would be like to be fully committed to being ‘in’ the relationship - after we had done that, we knew we couldn’t possibly go back to being ‘in between’ the relationship in no-man’s land. The next breakthrough came from having some really courageous conversations about what was really going on in our so called marriage. After 30 years of being together, 26 of them married, we are now genuinely looking forward to what’s next - it’s a cliché, but it really is like starting again! We’re still making time to talk, being honest with what is going on for us and planning more time together. Francine, I would recommend you because you have a big heart and a real gift for working with couples."  TONY BARTON

"Francine helped me to identify my limiting beliefs and to articulate my values. Without full knowledge of these two essentials I was finding taking the next step hard going. Francine was so gentle as I was unsure to start with. She is incredibly empowering. I would recommend Francine to anyone who is very frightened of changing their lives. She showed my how easy it was to take the smallest step first."  CS

"Francine’s a great coach. She understood exactly where I was coming from and offered me pertinent and practical advice. We didn’t waste a moment of the session and I felt inspired and have already started to take action on the work we have done."  CAROLINE J
