Service
Divorce Doula
Steady, non-judgmental guidance through the emotional, practical and relational work of separation — from the first difficult conversation to rebuilding intimacy and identity afterward.
A divorce doula walks alongside someone through the whole arc of ending a marriage: what to say, when, to whom, and how to protect the people caught in the middle. It is not legal advice and it is not therapy. It is experienced, calm companionship and strategy for one of the most disorienting transitions in adult life.
Dr Gabrielle Morrissey brings more than 30 years as a sexologist, educator and relationships columnist to this work, including the Divorce Diaries column for Mamamia and The Divorced Sexologist podcast. Sessions draw on that clinical and communication expertise — and on lived experience of divorce — to help clients make decisions they can stand behind later.
Work is one-to-one and confidential, conducted online for clients in Australia and the United States, and can run as a single strategy session or as ongoing support across the separation.
