Danielle Black - Australia's leading specialist Divorce Coach for child-focused post-separation parenting

Danielle Black

Principal Coach & Director

Since 2020 I have established myself as a respected child-focused and strategic authority in the post-separation coaching space. .

Having navigated my own complex separation, and guided hundreds of clients to successful outcomes, I utilise the solid foundation of the evidence-based Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™ to provide support and strategies that prioritise children's safety and development over outdated assumptions about adult concepts of “fairness”. I specialise in helping protective parents to optimise the outcome for themselves and their children, and support clients to navigate situations that other professionals don't properly address.

Many lawyers, psychologists and other professionals regularly refer clients to Danielle Black Coaching, both to the foundation of the Blueprint, and the added support of 1:1 coaching - knowing that both resources support protective parents to establish boundaries, increase their capacity, manage their expectations and ‘stay the course’ when separating from a high-conflict person.

I am a mother of four children, and love spending time with my family when I’m not helping clients to protect theirs.

Trudie Hargrave

Specialist Coach

My approach to coaching is both strategic and holistic, using the Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™ as the foundation that underpins my 1:1 coaching work.

I provide clients with guidance, direct them to resources and tools in the Blueprint, and walk beside them every step of the way as they navigate what is one of the hardest things they will ever experience.

I’m here to help you understand the options open to you on your journey, and I specialise in helping clients understand the realities of the court system and post-separation co-parenting - including the realities of co-parenting after achieving parenting orders.

I am a mother of three children, and I have extensive lived experience of high-conflict separation, divorce and co-parenting.  This includes lived experience of the court system, legal aid, and optimising my court outcome.

From early separation, through to mediation, court and final orders - we’ve both been there, and done that.

We’ve also helped hundreds of Australian protective parents, just like you, to optimise their outcomes - protecting themselves and their children - with holistic ‘in the trenches’ support, and the kind of strategy that only comes from having experienced ‘the system’ firsthand.

We’d love to help you too.
