Our Referral Pathways
It really does take a village and ours is incredible. The people around us are generous with their time, brave in their conversations, steady when things get hard, and always willing to roll up their sleeves for something bigger than themselves. We don’t do this work alone, we’re held up by friends, partners, colleagues and quiet champions who believe in the same vision.

DirectorSeparate Well. Protect What Matters.
Separation Specialist
Our key values to a successful, ethical and respectful separation are to emphasise:-
Respect over retaliation
Closure rather than ongoing conflict
Accountability without judgment
Protecting children from adult conflict
Ending your relationship without destroying each other
I support individuals and couples navigating separation and divorce who want to end their relationship with dignity, respect, and as little harm as possible.
My approach is inspired by principles which are structured, goal driven and ethical and that recognise the seriousness of ending a marriage, while prioritising accountability, mutual respect, and emotional closure.
This is not about reconciliation or blame. It is about separating well — especially where children, shared history, and long-term emotional consequences are involved.
We offer individual or couple initial consultations to find out more about you and yours, your history, where you are right now, and where you'd like to be in the not too distant future.
Many people begin the separation process without any real knowledge about the pathway they should take or the many ways that they can protect themselves, and their children from on-going conflict.
Don't feel lost, threatened or panicked about your impending separation. Phone us now and let us help you down a much more peaceful pathway to find resolution.

Even when relationships end, families don't have to be destroyed. Our mission is to help you transition with dignity.
Having completed a Law degree majoring in psychology and then witnessing the devastating impact lengthy, bitter, expensive family court fights had on everyone in a family (in the short and long term), our CEO, Susan Crain, became disillusioned with the legal system.
She was determined to find ways to offer alternate solutions for her clients that didn’t take such a huge financial, legal, emotional, and physical toll on them. Decades later, Susan’s strategies have proven highly successful for hundreds of clients across Australia and New Zealand.
Separation Support Network was established and commenced operating as a social enterprise offering wrap-around, one-on-one services, resources, and support networks to Australian and New Zealand clients considering separation, going through separation, or emerging from divorce.
