Hi, I'm Kerryn Martorana, a Sydney Divorce & Certified Dispute Resolution Coach.

Presenting yourself with confidence and clarity as your best self, empowers you to take control of the divorce process.

What is Divorce Coaching?
My Sydney Divorce Coaching service offers you a flexible, goal-oriented process designed to support, motivate and guide you while going through a divorce. This empathic and supportive approach helps you make the best possible decisions for your future, based on your interests, needs and concerns.As your confidant and trusted partner during this emotionally charged process, I’m here as your Divorce Coach Sydney when you need emotional guidance, reliable support and a safe space for you to show up as you are in the moment.
This way, you can vent your frustrations and consolidate your thoughts to give you more clarity and confidence when determining your future or forming questions for your ‘divorce tribe’
What is Family Dispute Resolution?
The Australian Government Attorney General’s department defines Family Dispute Resolution as a process in which a family dispute resolution practitioner helps people affected, or likely to be affected, by separation or divorce, to resolve some or all of their disputes with each other.
A Dispute Resolution Practitioner is an independent person who can help people discuss issues, consider options, and work out how best to reach an agreement in disputes. As a Sydney certified dispute resolution coach, I assist the disputing parties in identifying the disputed issues, developing options, considering alternatives, and trying to reach an agreement about some or all the issues.
A Dispute Resolution Coach does not provide legal advice on your rights and obligations under the law, nor on whether a person has breached the law. We are also not financial advisors. However, I help you throughout the dispute journey, so you feel seen, heard, valued, and you have someone to support you.
How I apply Divorce and Dispute Resolution services.
Intense Emotion
Divorce is a deeply intense and emotionally charged experience. I work alongside you to navigate these challenging emotions, freeing your emotional capacity to allow you to focus your energy on other areas and your future needs.I am your resource, advocate and thinking partner throughout the entire process, from the beginning of the separation process, through divorce to its closure and into the start of your next journey.
Multiple Areas of Change
This, too, shall pass! Change is inevitable, but when you are unprepared for it to happen so suddenly and in so many aspects of your life, it can easily shake our very foundation.I will walk this path with you to unpack what you can control to move forward and understand what life looks like when you emerge on the other side.
Legal Process
During a time of intense change and emotional turmoil, it can be extremely overwhelming to present as your best self to your professional divorce tribe. The sheer volume of documentation can make it nearly impossible to think clearly.I will walk the path with you to slowly unpack what you need, when you need it and who can assist you to find the required information. This helps you gather all the necessary information for your next appointment.
The Different Areas of Divorce
The Lived Experience of Divorce
I help you navigate the tumultuous experience of divorce, i.e. grief, stress, fear, conflict management, clear communication, massive life transition, changes in available resources, moving from the current family dynamic to restructuring it and supporting a new framework.One of my specialties is transitioning from the emotion and overwhelm of divorce into a structured, empowered process. I help people make strong decisions before, during and after separation or divorce.
The Business of Divorce
I help you get organised for the legal and practical steps of divorce, including making informed decisions, finding resources, preparing questions, presenting as a reliable and resourceful client, creating a budget and assisting you in the experience of negotiating a settlement, among other tasks.I aim for you to show up as your best self with your "divorce tribe", including your financial advisor, real estate agent and lawyer. I help you go from the story of divorce to the business of divorce, helping you maintain resilience and strength throughout the process.
Moving Forward
I help you create the next chapter of your life, including goal setting, action plans, mindset, letting go, forming new relationships and social networks and re-establishing yourself in the workforce and your career.Divorce doesn't have to be messy. My support makes it structured and rational, whether you're in the decision-making stage or post-divorce processing. I specialise in amicable divorces, but I also support high-conflict pathways.
