Relationship Coaching should be considered before divorcing.

However, if a divorce is inevitable, mediation is the best way to divorce.

About Me

My name is Hennie Lategan. I am an accredited Family Law Mediator and a qualified Life Coach.

I have an MPhil from the University of Pretoria and I am a member of the International Coaching Federation and the South African Association of Mediators.

Some years ago, I had to deal with retrenchment, divorce, and being diagnosed with a lifelong illness almost simultaneously.

It shaped me into who I am today and what I do for a profession, but back then, it was the darkest and most overwhelming period of my life. I can therefore relate to people going through a difficult time, and I know how they feel.

However, I also know it does not matter how hopeless you might feel. With the proper support, your new life can be even better than the old one.

Empowering You to Make the Right Decisions

Divorce Mediation

Divorce mediation is a legal process established by the Mediation in Certain Divorce Matters Act 24 of 1987 to lessen the court’s burden with divorces.

It allows for a divorce to be settled out of court and is the cheapest and fastest way to get a divorce.

Unfortunately, almost all divorces mistakenly end up in court, taking years to settle while incurring substantial legal fees.

Trying to “punish” the other party in court is pointless because divorce law in South Africa does not consider who was responsible for the breakup or the most wronged in a relationship.

The law’s only concern is the children’s best interest, and the rest of the essential matters follow strict guidelines that favour no particular party.

An inevitable outcome of a court divorce is an empty wallet and years of legal battles.

On the other hand, the benefits of a mediated divorce are:

  • It costs less than 20% of a court divorce.
  • Divorce is finalised in 6 to 8 weeks.
  • Mediator assists in negotiations between spouses.

Relationship Coaching

People sometimes feel stuck in life and do not know what to do.

This is where life coaching comes in.

It’s a journey of self-discovery that helps you understand why you feel stuck and guides you on a path to moving forward again.  

Relationship Coaching is life coaching for a couple that wants to go through the same process for their relationship.

People are sometimes stuck in life. They do not know what to do or are overwhelmed by emotions.

Life coaching is about finding a way to move past that. It is rooted in psychology but does not focus on your past like in therapy or act as a replacement for it.

It focuses on your future and helps you to make the right decisions about your life by removing blind spots and overwhelming emotions.
