I'm John Beatty, founder of Carolinas Divorce Coaching and a CDC Certified Divorce Coach® helping people through separation, divorce, co-parenting, and life after divorce. I work with clients virtually across the United States.

Wherever You Are in the Divorce Process

Divorce is one of life's biggest changes, and change brings opportunity. Some clients come to me while they're considering divorce and weighing whether to stay or leave. Others come after the decision to divorce has been made. And some are finding their footing after the divorce is final. Whatever stage you're in, I can help.

Who do you want to be? What do you want life to look like?

Those answers create your vision. That's where we start, and it guides every decision that follows. My experience and training help you stay steady and think clearly, so the choices you make now move you toward the life you described. You'll come out the other side knowing you did your best, with a solid foundation for living the future you envision.

How a Divorce Coach Helps

Your attorney handles the law. Your financial professional works through the numbers. Your therapist helps you heal and process what's happened. Who helps you handle you — the emotions, the decisions, and the information everyone else needs from you? That's the gap a divorce coach fills. That's where I come in.

  • I'll help bring order when things feel chaotic.

  • I'll help you find your path when decisions feel overwhelming.

  • I'll hold hope for you when you feel hopeless.

In practice, divorce coaching means helping you prepare for meetings with your attorney so your time with them is efficient and productive, stay on top of the documents and information your team needs from you, and, if you have children, communicate with your co-parent in ways that keep the focus on your children, even when the relationship is high-conflict.

I don't provide legal advice. I help you work more effectively with the professionals who do.

About John Beatty, CDC Certified Divorce Coach®

"Positively impact as many people's lives as possible." That's been my personal mission statement for nearly 30 years.

I came to divorce coaching the hard way. After 17 years of marriage, I found myself navigating a high-conflict divorce and a challenging co-parenting dynamic. It wasn't my first experience with divorce. I'm the child of a high-conflict divorce, so I also know what it's like from a child's perspective.

During my own divorce, someone asked if I'd ever considered becoming a divorce coach. I had no idea what that was, so I did some research and discovered that coaching draws on the skills that have always brought me the greatest intrinsic satisfaction in my work. I trained as a CDC Certified Divorce Coach® so I could offer other people the support I wish I'd had.

Before becoming a coach, I worked across the nonprofit, public, and private sectors as an educator and trainer, a business executive, and a community volunteer. I've managed complex, high-stakes dynamics in the community and in the workplace. In every role, my goal was the same: make the world a little better by helping people reach their fullest potential.

Now I bring all of that to one of life's most challenging times: yours.
