This ultimately leads to clients making healthy choices, to co-operatively parent their children and to divorce with dignity".

Having gone through divorce myself I understand the process and am able to support my clients to deal with the story of their divorce and the negative beliefs and uncertainties dominating their subconscious mind. My knowledge and expertise is continually developing and this has added to the growth of my coaching practice."

Flexible, supportive, insightful and encouraging divorce coach

I had a number of Zoom sessions with Paula ("Polly") over nearly a year. She was always generous with her time and flexible, and she gave me new ideas and perspectives for how to move forward with my extremely challenging divorce process. Thank you Paula!

Thank you so much for your kind words Robin and for taking the time to share your experience. It was truly a privilege to support you through such a challenging time in your life. I admired the care and thoughtfulness you brought to such a difficult process. Your willingness to be reflective and deliberate in your decisions, and to approach the situation with consideration for your wife’s feelings, was a testament to you taking accountability and showing compassion. I’m so glad I could offer perspectives and ideas that helped you move forward in a way that aimed to make the process as painless as possible for everyone involved. Wishing you continued healing and growth in the days ahead.

I had a zoom call with Polly to discuss empty nest issues

I had a zoom call with Polly to discuss strategies to cope with empty nest, and the inevitable distancing with my husband that has occurred through raising our children.
Polly was incredible.... She allowed me the safety to discuss painful issues with no judgement, just total empathy and reassurance.
The whole experience was incredibly cathartic, and I was given achievable strategies to address things with my husband.
We have since been able to discuss our emotions calmly and honestly with each other, and are now in a much better place.
I cannot praise Polly enough... Her professionalism, calmness, kindness and understanding was exceptional.
I am now mentally more settled and positive about my relationship,
Thank you Polly Bloom xx

Thank you so much for this heartfelt review! I’m truly grateful for the trust you placed in me during such a vulnerable and pivotal time in your life. It means so much to hear that our session together brought clarity and helped you and your husband reconnect in such a meaningful way. Your commitment to opening up and working through these deeply personal challenges is truly inspiring.

Hearing that you're feeling more settled and positive is exactly why I do this work, and I’m honoured to have been a part of your journey. Thank you again for your kind words and for allowing me to support you during this transition. Wishing you both continued growth and connection.

Warmest wishes,

Highly Recommended, excellent coach

Paula was recommended to me when I was going through a very difficult time in my life. Having separated from my long-term husband and going through divorce proceedings I was at my lowest ebb. I was struggling so much and didn’t know which way to turn. I was beyond upset and couldn’t think straight. From the moment I spoke with Paula I knew without a doubt she was the right person to help me. I had seen various counsellors who would listen to me but none who would give me advice on how to cope with things on a personal level. She is also able to give practical help when it is difficult to understand the legal system.
One of the most comforting things for me was that as Paula has been through a similar experience in her own life she totally understood what I was going through and how I was feeling. I was at my lowest ebb, unable to think straight or see a way forward but she gave me the strength and confidence to pick myself up, build confidence in myself and move forward with what was needed to be done.
Unfortunately, the legal system does not work quickly and it took over two years for my divorce to be finalised. During that time Paula was my “crutch”, always there if I felt I needed her with a listening ear and comforting, wise words. She is very easy to talk to, she listens, she understands and she helps in so many ways. There was a time when I just didn’t know how things would ever work out for me but with Paula’s help I am now in a much better place and beginning to enjoy a new life. There is light at the end of the tunnel, although I couldn’t see that at the start. Talking to her the very first time was life-changing for me, knowing someone understood what I was going through and could help get me to the other side of such an horrendous time was the best call I made. So, if you are struggling, feeling down and overwhelmed, not knowing which way to turn or who to talk to, then contact Paula. You won’t regret it.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and heartfelt words. I am deeply humbled by your testimonial and proud to have been a part of your journey through such a challenging time. It means the world to me to know that I was able to support you when you needed it most, and that together we could navigate such a difficult chapter in your life. Your strength and resilience have been truly inspiring, and I’m so glad to hear that you are now in a better place, beginning to embrace your new life.

I understand how overwhelming and isolating these experiences can be, and my goal has always been to provide a safe, understanding, and supportive space. It was an honour to be there for you, and I am beyond grateful that I could make a positive difference.

Wishing you continued peace and happiness as you move forward—you deserve it all. Thank you again for your kind words. It has truly been a privilege to work with you.

Much love
Polly 🧡

Definitely Recommend

The fact that Paula has been through her own very difficult divorce is, what I feel, made her able to understand on such a deeply personal level, what I was going through. With that experience and knowledge, she was able to offer clear, concise and practical advice.

Paula was a safe space to enable me to process my feelings and thoughts away from all the noise that divorce brings. She gave me many coping strategies when I felt terrified, overwhelmed and grief stricken with what was happening. Paula helped me with written communication to my ex, something I found challenging. This then enabled me not to rely heavily on my solicitor to keep the process on track, which in the long run helped to keep the costs down.

Paula helped to build my confidence to be able to see the process through and look forward to my future.

Those going through divorce are faced with uncertainty, confusion and loss of identity. As you well know it is a difficult transition. You were a model client Steph because you were introspective and mindful of the way you wanted to respond. You made the choice to divorce with dignity and grace. It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know you and providing support as you turn the page and start the next chapter of your life!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great support!

Paula has been and is (my divorce journey continues) an amazing support both emotionally and practically with all things divorce!
When I have come to her upset or unsure of what to do, her calming influence and knowledge has helped me look at the situation and my options differently!
