About Jennie
Jennie Sutton is an award-winning divorce coach and McKenzie Friend based in Bristol, UK. She specialises in supporting women through midlife separation and divorce, walking with clients from the first difficult decision through to building a new life on the other side.
Her approach draws on trauma-informed practice, energy work, and meditation, moving away from the conflict-driven narrative that so often surrounds divorce. She helps clients find clarity, manage the emotional weight of separation, and take practical steps forward with confidence.
As a Professional McKenzie Friend recognised in the Family Courts of England and Wales, she can accompany self-representing clients to hearings, help organise court bundles, and provide a calm presence so no one faces the legal process alone.

What Clients Say
★★★★★
"My wife of 35 years decided just before the first COVID-19 lockdown that we should separate. That lead to a very difficult year as I tried to adjust to a life apart. Before my coaching with Jennie, I was struggling to make sense of my life and how I was going to move on. Having Jennie's coaching and guidance was very helpful in giving me new ways of coping and a sense of direction. Now four months later thankfully I am in a much better place. I am very happy to endorse Jennie and her coaching."

★★★★★
"I'm so grateful for my coaching time with Jennie. Prior to working with her, I was at a very low place, emotionally; and I had spent a great deal of time wading through the same negative and overwhelming emotions. Jennie listened very attentively and sincerely. I felt "heard" for the first time in a very long time. I knew, wholeheartedly, that she wanted to help me to be able to help myself. She was remarkably patient as she worked with me, and she was willing to continually encourage me to implement new strategies to help facilitate my own process of beginning to heal emotionally. After coaching with her, I felt as if I had the courage to step out of my comfort zone and vacation with a friend who I've known since childhood."
Beth S.
★★★★★
"I cannot recommend Jennie highly enough for all the help and advice she has given throughout a very stressful process of family court. She provided lots of much-needed help in drafting excellent Position Statements with me so that I was heard during the process. Her medical background and professional approach were really helpful. She gave lots of helpful advice when I had no idea where to turn to. Jennie was always a phone call away if I needed her at any time. I would recommend Jennie to anyone looking for a McKenzie Friend."
Amanda G.
★★★★★
"Before my Child Arrangement Order, I thought help wasn't available. Then Jennie became my McKenzie Friend. Jennie is so loving and caring, she actually gave me the strength to put the interests of our son first. Thank you"
Emma O.
★★★★★
"Jen has supported me through the process of preparing my documents and applications to apply for a Child Arrangements Order as a grandparent applying for contact with my grandchildren. Jen has also supported me in Court too. Her prompt and punctual replies with draft documents has filled me with confidence. I feel that without Jen I wouldn't have been prepared for Court in time. Jen is professional and supportive whilst always approachable too."
Christine R.
★★★★★
"Jennie has been so helpful, so kind and generous as my divorce coach. She has helped me so much when I was struggling to see what to do. I am so grateful. Jennie has given me my self-belief back that I have not felt for such a long time. Jennie is a wonderful human being. Thank you"
