Investment

Every now and then we like to reward ourselves with a treat or 'pick-me-up' such as a cup of coffee, a new gadget or piece of clothing. Consider counselling sessions like a reward for your inner-self, where you invest in improving your overall quality of life one visit at a time.

What better investment is there than experiencing a more fulfilling and happy life? Your emotional well-being is just as important as your physical health, so  adding a little therapy to your cart ensures you've made time to nurture your inner-you.
Office hours: 9:00am till 5:30pm Monday to Friday. After hours appointments can be arranged on request.
Telehealth services delivered via Phone, Skype and Zoom are available on request.

The Divorce Architect Framework TM
Beach Divorce

“Separation is rarely just a legal event or an emotional experience. It is a complex transition that touches every part of a person’s life.”

1

Divorce Architect Initial Exploration Session

$350 | 60 minutes

For many, this replaces the need to seek early-stage input across multiple sources—offering a single, grounded point of clarity from which to move forward.
A considered entry point for those at the beginning—or in the midst—of separation who are seeking clarity before taking further steps.

This session allows you to:
Explore your current position and immediate concerns.
Identify key pressure points and areas of uncertainty.
Gain a clear understanding of The Divorce Architect Framework™.
Consider whether a structured, guided approach aligns with your needs.
This is a space to pause, organise your thinking, and begin to see your situation with greater clarity and direction.

“Clarity doesn’t come from rushing decisions - it comes from understanding where you stand.”

Clear thoughts - clear ocean

Divorce Architect Strategic Session

$1,250 | 90 minutes

Where traditional advisory pathways(i.e., lawyers) often provide single-discipline input in isolation, this session delivers integrated, cross-disciplinary strategy—ensuring each decision is connected, considered, and aligned to a cohesive outcome.
A comprehensive, high-level strategic session designed to map your separation with precision and foresight.

This session is suited to individuals ready to move beyond initial clarity into structured decision-making.
A detailed review of your current circumstances (personal, parenting, financial, and legal landscape).
Identification of risks, gaps, and opportunities.
Development of a tailored, step-by-step strategic roadmap.
Guidance on sequencing decisions to avoid unnecessary escalation, cost, or conflict.
Identification of any required external professionals (legal, financial, therapeutic).
Following the session, all insights, strategies, and recommendations are meticulously curated into a bespoke, comprehensive strategic report—your personalised separation blueprint. This refined document is designed to provide clarity, direction, and a sense of control, allowing you to move forward with confidence and informed precision.

This session establishes the foundation for a more controlled, informed, and intentional separation process, anchored by a sophisticated, tailored report that captures your strategy, priorities, and clearly defined pathway forward.

The Divorce Architect Framework™ Engagement - Structured, Ongoing Strategic Advisory

From $1,500 per month

In contrast to traditional models where multiple professionals operate independently, this engagement provides a central point of coordination—reducing duplication, preventing unnecessary escalation, and ensuring that every step taken is purposeful and aligned.
This is the full implementation of The Divorce Architect Framework™, where your separation is approached as a coordinated, project-managed process rather than a reactive or adversarial experience.

Engagement may include:
Ongoing strategic advisory and decision-making support.
Coordination with external professionals (lawyers, financial advisors, accountants, therapists).
Structured planning across parenting, property, and personal transition.
Preparation for mediation or dispute resolution processes.
Emotional and practical containment through each phase of separation.
Monthly Advisory Includes:
Up to 3 hours of strategic advisory time per month.
Scheduled strategy sessions to review progress and guide next steps.
Phone and email advisory support between sessions.
Guidance on communication, positioning, and key decision-making.
This level of engagement is designed for those seeking continuity, stability, and a clear pathway forward—minimising disruption while protecting long-term outcomes.

Fee Adjustment:
Fees are tailored and may be reviewed in accordance with the scope, complexity, and level of involvement required as the matter evolves.

“The value is not in the hour. It is in the clarity, coordination, and outcome that the hour creates.”
