“It’s not what happens to you in life that defines you, it’s what you do about it that makes you the person you are” - sara davison

• As a fully qualified and accredited UK Sara Davison Master & Platinum Break-Up and Divorce Coach Practitioner, & additionally able to support survivors of domestic abuse on a 1-1 basis or in small groups, - (trained by the world's No.1 Divorce Coach – Sara Davison), and based in Hastings, East Sussex, my role is to offer a personalised ‘toolbox’ of strategies and skills to provide emotional and practical support for any clients who are struggling with any kind of break-up, (either via online Zoom or face-to-face sessions (locally), in the UK, or globally).  Small group ‘Courses & Retreats’ can be viewed on my homepage. HR Departments and corporate companies and their employees are also welcome to email me directly on mariasteene@yahoo.co.uk to enquire about the personalised or group support that I can offer, (employees enquiring anonymously and confidentially directly with myself, or by advertising my services as part of your Company Well-being Employee Benefits Packages), to suit convenient scheduling times for all Participants, (evenings & weekend options included). Did you know that Breakup & Divorce impacts your business by reducing your employee productivity by up to 40% for a period of 3 years? Absenteeism - 23% of workers who went through a divorce or separation had to take Sick or Unpaid Leave. In 2021, (post-Covid), UK employees seeking separation and divorce advice were up 73% year on year. Relationship breakdown costs US industry 300 billion US dollars annually. Co-workers productivity is reduced by 4% and line managers by 2.5%. Up to 70% of your work force are dealing with the effects of divorce or relationship breakdowns at any one time. Employee retention for just under 1 in 10, resulted in them leaving the company within the year post-divorce. The cost of lost productivity to a business equates to 143% of that employee’s annual salary.  

  Currently one of the only Sara Davison accredited Coaches in the East Sussex area. I am a member of the International Divorce Coach Centre of Excellence, certified by the CPD Standards Office, (which follows the International Coaching Federation coaches code of standards and ethics), and have had certified training with the UK regulated domestic abuse charity ‘dash’ - (Domestic Abuse Stops Here’). I am passionate about supporting not only local/UK clients but International global clients online too.  I recently relocated back to the UK, after living and working for 15 years in the Middle East, so if you are an Ex-Pat who has experienced or is experiencing a relationship breakdown, then I understand your situation, the fear,anxiety, and all of the other roller-coaster of emotions associated with being suddenly ‘Solo’ in a foreign country!
