Claire Macklin is a UK-based break-up and divorce coach who speaks from real experience. She's been through divorce twice — the first hit without warning in 2008, leaving her a single parent of two young children with no roadmap — and she's built her entire practice around the lessons learned since. A former solicitor and Master NLP Practitioner, she brings legal grounding and deep emotional coaching skills to clients at every stage of separation.
Claire's core belief is that divorce is an emotional issue with legal and financial consequences. When the emotional storm is managed, clients make better decisions, reduce conflict, and protect their wellbeing — and their bank account. She works alongside lawyers where needed, and her sessions help clients respond rather than react, so they can move through the process with dignity.
Since founding her practice in 2017 she's worked with hundreds of clients across the UK. Her signature "7 Cs" framework moves people from overwhelm toward calm, clarity, control, informed choices, effective communication, and ultimately the design of a new life they're proud of.

Investing in myself at this time of change has been one of my best investments — it has been money well spent. Surprised to be single and excited by my future!
