These questions will help you identify which member of the Danielle Black Coaching team is best placed to support you right now.

  • Read each question carefully

  • For each question, choose A, B, or C

    C. My situation is complex, high-conflict, or involves significant legal or strategic considerations

  • A. I am not in court and would like to avoid it if possible


    B. I am in court or have final orders and need support navigating processes or outcomes


    C. I am in active, contested, or complex court proceedings

  • A. My child’s needs are best supported through proactive, developmentally informed parenting (and not currently in the court system)


    B. One or more of my children are neurodivergent or have additional needs requiring careful advocacy and planning


    C. My child’s situation involves young age, refusal or resistance dynamics, estrangement dynamics, and/or significant risk concerns

  • *If not relevant for you, please skip and move to the next question

    A. Yes - and I want support around boundaries, insight, and sustainability (outside the court system)


    B. Yes - and this intersects with court processes or additional-needs parenting


    C. Yes - and it forms part of a broader, high-risk or legally complex situation

  • A. Child-first decision-making, emotional safety, and long-term sustainability


    B. Practical, experienced support that understands the realities of family law and parenting complexity


    C. Highest-level expertise due to the seriousness of my situation

Your Results

Mostly A’s - Brigid is likely your best fit

Brigid supports parents navigating shared parenting outside the court system, with a strong focus on child development, boundaries, wellbeing, and sustainability.
She is particularly well-suited to parents who want to make defensible, child-focused decisions without escalating conflict.

Important: Brigid does not currently work with clients who are in active court proceedings unless they are also engaged with Danielle or Trudie.

Mostly B’s - Trudie is likely your best fit

Trudie is an experienced all-rounder and a strong choice for parents navigating court involvement or life after final orders.
She has particular expertise supporting families with neurodivergent or additional-needs children, and with preparation for reports, expert meetings, and trial-related processes.

Mostly C’s - Danielle is likely your best fit

Danielle works with parents navigating the most complex, high-conflict, and strategically demanding situations.
This includes supervised or no-contact arrangements, relocation, sole parental responsibility, and child refusal dynamics.

Mixed Results

  • Mostly A’s and B’s:
    Either Brigid or Trudie may be a good fit.
    Please note that Brigid works only with clients who are not in active court proceedings.

  • Mostly B’s and C’s:
    Either Trudie or Danielle will be appropriate, depending on the stage and complexity of your matter.

  • A mix across all three:
    Book an initial call with Principal Coach Danielle Black and she’ll help you determine the best path forward.
