Divorce Support Club

Fees

There is no charge for attending The Divorce Support Club.

Confidentiality

The meetings will not give specific legal advice and we will not answer questions in any way as to identify any of our clients or to breach the confidentiality.

Claire will not know anything about our clients cases other than what attendees choose to share in their questions.

The meetings will be run through Eventbrite. For logistical purposes the event bookings will be run through Claire Macklin’s Eventbrite account. Clients who wish to take part will agree to the sharing of their email addresses with Claire for the purpose of the divorce club mailing list.

The Divorce Club Mailing List will only be used for the purposes of The Divorce Support Club and the email addresses will be used for no other purpose. It is agreed with Claire that in the event of our partnership ending that the mailing list and historic mailing lists will be deleted.

Liability

We will not be giving legal advice during the meetings. Legal advice is only given by us on an individual basis, normally during a meeting (including videoconference or telephone) and/or in writing (including by email).

We do not therefore accept any liability for actions taken on the basis of generic information given during the divorce support club.

Claire is responsible for her own advice – which again is of a general and holistic nature.

Any financial adviser who attends the meeting as a guest will provide generic responses. However, it is not impossible that they will raise issues which will flag up that it will be important to take independent financial advice before making a decision. As a firm of solicitors we do not provide financial advice – and we are not regulated to do so. We would always recommend clients take financial advice before making decisions on financial matters. The intention of the divorce support club is that, armed with more general financial information, clients may be more inclined/find it easier to make the decision to obtain financial advice.

Fair usage

We have set this up as a free service. But numbers are limited. Therefore if anyone books fails to attend without good reason on more than one occasion then we reserve the right to remove them from the mailing list.

Addition to/removal from the mailing list

This is entirely at our discretion.

Cancellation

We reserve the right to cancel this service at any time and without notice.

Sometimes those going through a divorce or separation can find the experience to be emotionally overwhelming. Emotions such as grief and anger can get in the way of good decision-making.

Divorce coaching is forward-focused, and aims to help you get clarity, feel empowered, see options and choices, and turn down the temperature on your emotions so that you can make better decisions, and create a bright future.

Over the years we have seen too many cases where couples remain trapped in a level of conflict with each other which gets in the way of each of them enjoying a happy life and causes emotional harm to their children. Divorce coaching helps you to take a different perspective and focus on the steps you can take to move forward.

What if I want additional coaching?

To sign up to our Divorce Support Club, please fill out your details above. The mailing list will only be used for the purposes of The Divorce Support Club.

Each month an email will be sent out inviting clients who wish to attend to sign up to the next Divorce Support Club Meeting via Eventbrite. Places will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, and places are limited.

We will keep a waiting list of those who do not secure a place. Therefore, if you have booked and are not able to attend, we would ask you to let us know so that we can make the place available to someone else.

We will apply a fair usage policy, so if someone were to be a serial non-attender, we would have to remove them from the invitation list.

There is more information about this in the terms and conditions which will apply (see below).

If you are an existing client and you are not aware of The Divorce Support Club but would like to join, please just email us and we will add you to our mailing list.

Claire is an NLP Master Practitioner, former lawyer, a mother and divorcee.

Claire specialises in coaching individuals through separation and divorce, giving emotional support, and providing strategies and skills which will empower you to make the best choices and to equip you to create a fulfilling future.  She is the author of a book called: “Break-up: From Crisis to Confidence”.

Divorce Coaching is a relatively new phenomena in the UK. Coaching  gives you strategies to recognise and work through your emotions and explore ways in which you can get clarity, take back control, see options and choices and take steps to move forward positively.

You can find more about Claire here.

The meeting will operate as a virtual seminar – so only Claire Macklin, Lauren Preedy, and any guests will be visible. Attendees will not be able to see each other or know who each other are.

Supplemental questions can be posted and answered in real time through the videoconference platform.

Attendees need to be aware that there will be other attendees. When answering questions (including questions submitted in advance) we will answer in broad terms so that those asking questions are not identified.

There will be a short presentation on a different topic each month.

You will be invited to submit questions/issues in advance of each meeting, and we will try to answer all of them in the session.

The sessions usually last for around an hour.

The Divorce Support Club meets via video conference each month between 1 PM and 2 PM.

Fill out your details above and we will send you the link to the next webinar, plus access to previous webinars.
