Mona Scott-Norman

Relationship Therapist, Divorce Coach & Family Mediator

Mona is a relationship therapist, divorce coach, and family mediator.  She believes in nurturing meaningful connections with her clients, and her unique skillset allows her to provide services for her clients they often cannot get elsewhere.

As a therapist… Mona uses systemic approach, the idea that a person is a part of a whole system of moving parts and external dynamics. She takes a largely humanistic viewpoint; the belief that, with support, people can themselves reach a state of profound self-knowledge and clarity.

As a couples therapist… Based on a systemic framework she invites couples to explore issues openly, without judgement, employing tools to improve communication, and exploring the fundamental issues affecting the relationship.  Her style of therapy looks at wider environmental and historical influences on the relationship, and she challenges unhelpful behaviours.

As a family mediator… Mona works with couples who are separating / divorcing to find solutions to child and financial issues, to inform consent orders for court.  An empathetic mediator, she helps couples seek a positive way forward at one of the most difficult times of their lives.

As a coach… Mona provides both career and divorce coaching, to enable clients to find ways to navigate change and to find fulfilment in their new lives.

Mona’s psychological research in self-esteem and identity in the workplace informs her career coaching, and her deep insight into the nuances of work psychology help clients explore how they view themselves in the world of work.  She always aims to help clients get to a profound state of self-knowledge.

Her training in family mediation (including family law), and her personal experience make her a divorce coach with a difference.  With deep empathy, she provides round the clock support, and her unique knowledge of separation and divorce in practical terms means she can give more structured and informed support than most divorce coaches.
