Meet your guides
We are two birds with 45 years of marriage between us, who have survived complex separation, divorce and bereavement. Alongside our lived experience, we bring educational insight and professional understanding shaped by years of learning and growth. When the family law system failed to protect us, we found strength in sharing our experiences, knowledge and resources. Now, we offer the bird’s-eye view we wish we’d had: honest insight, practical strategies and trusted referrals to experts in their field.
A supportive community for women:
When family falls apart, we help women rise, rebuild and take flight. Our goal is to create a safe, empowering space where you can express yourself, heal and reclaim your emotional and financial independence. Join our community of brave birds who have endured similar challenges and emerged stronger from a life that has hurt them — mind, body and soul.
Sarah brings first-hand insight to emotional and financial abuse in relationships and divorce. Often described as a real-life “dickiebird,” she understands how financial control can sit within self-employment, overseas banking/income, asset restructuring, private limited companies and family business/Trust structures.
She navigated family court while working full-time (in person eight times, five as a litigant in person), giving her practical experience of both represented and unrepresented routes to final hearing and beyond. She understands the pressure, complexity and persistence required for mothers to survive.
Sarah holds a BA (Ed) (Hons) and is trained in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness in Schools Practice (MiSP). Alongside court proceedings, international relocation, and raising her teenage children alone to tertiary education, she established herself as a marketing professional.
Her lived experience enables her to offer clear, steady support and effective signposting to those navigating complex financial separation.
Charlotte is a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Clinical Hypnotherapist AD. DIP.PSY.C, offering a supportive therapeutic space for adults and children affected by loss and trauma.
She understands the complexities of the grieving process, particularly when loss is experienced through death or divorce.
Charlotte supports individuals impacted by many forms of loss, including bereavement, divorce, suicide, domestic abuse, both emotional and physical, as well as loss of home and family networks.
She has worked full-time for many years across charities and organisations, providing counselling within schools and community settings. Charlotte is passionate about supporting families as they navigate the family court system.
• Charlotte and Sarah only advocate for strategic partnerships with trusted ethical experts.

This is a safe, confidential space where it is entirely about you. We are here to listen, understand your unique situation and explore how our lived experience and practical support can help you navigate this storm.
There is no pressure and no obligation. If you choose to continue, we move into a focused strategy session tailored to your circumstances and the steps ahead.
You do not have to have it all figured out. You simply need to show up as you are.
We will meet you there.
Join the flock session
(1 hour)
£65 (Inc tax)
This is your space. A confidential, compassionate conversation where we focus entirely on you — your situation, your concerns and what feels most urgent right now.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach here. Every separation, every loss and every financial situation is different. Together, we gently unpack what is happening beneath the surface so you can begin to see your position more clearly and move forward with strength.
During our session, we may:
- Explore patterns of behaviour or power dynamics that are affecting you
- Look at your financial landscape and discuss options that protect your interests, including pensions and long-term security
- Clarify child-related arrangements and what feels fair and sustainable
- Consider safe, constructive communication strategies with your former partner
- Break down legal processes or paperwork in plain English so you feel informed rather than overwhelmed
- Create practical coping strategies to help you steady yourself emotionally during this transition
-
Answer your questions honestly and thoughtfully, at your pace
Above all, this session is about helping you feel heard, supported and clearer about your next steps. You are not just navigating paperwork or processes.
You are navigating a life transition.
And you do not have to do that alone.
Top-up sessions (30 mins)
