Mel Murphy is a divorce coach which is exactly as it sounds, someone who will coach you forward through your divorce.
She is getting ready to host Ireland’s first summit dedicated to divorce at the beginning of February.
Murphy’s expertise in this area began when she left an abusive marriage and went through her own journey of divorce with all the emotions, financials and stress points that come with the life changing experience.
Certified as an Executive Life Coach for the past 12 years Murphy had a few tools in her arsenal to help her navigate her path through her own divorce and is now successfully co-parenting her children with her ex-husband.
“Looking back, I didn’t feel at the time that a counsellor was what I needed. I wanted someone who was going to help me look forward and that is what coaching does. It looks at where you are now and where you want to go in the future,” she says.
“Once the divorce had gone through, I said I wanted to focus my coaching on divorce coaching and found a course in America to study.”
