Becoming a Divorce Coach the Right Way: Training, Ethics, and Accreditation

For anyone considering becoming a divorce coach, one of the biggest questions is: where do I start?

In this conversation, we discuss the growing number of people calling themselves divorce coaches without formal training; and why proper education, ethical standards, and professional accreditation are essential to protecting clients and the integrity of the field.

We cover:

  • Why formal training is critical for effective and ethical divorce coaching
  • The risks of untrained coaches to clients and the divorce process
  • How accreditation helps distinguish professional divorce coaches
  • The importance of collaboration with lawyers, mediators, and other professionals
  • How professional associations support coaches and create trusted referral networks

We also discuss the launch of DCAO (Divorce Coach Association of Ontario) and why it represents an important step toward professional recognition, accountability, and community within divorce coaching.

For those who feel called to this work, understanding the right path forward is the first step toward making a meaningful, responsible impact.
