Catherine Britt
Certified Divorce Coach, Attorney, Co-Parenting Specialist, Alternative Dispute Resolution Specialist

We don’t usually enter into a marriage with an exit strategy.

When divorce happens, you can be blindsided and overwhelmed by the emotion and complexity of the issues. The process is foreign, questions are everywhere, answers are few and can be confusing, and all of this happening in an emotional tornado. Few of us are prepared and that can lead to higher costs, higher conflict, and unwanted outcomes for you, for your children, for your family.

There is a better way.

At e4 we focus on four things:

  • Exploration and Preparation

    • What do I want and is it realistic?

    • What do I need to move forward?

    • What are my values?

    • How do I want to show up during the process for myself, my children, my family?

    • Do I need an attorney?

    • How do I choose an attorney?

    • How do I prepare for mediation? Litigation?

  • Education

    • Understanding divorce basics and the business of divorce.

    • Understanding alernatives to litigation.

    • Choosing a process and outlining a roadmap.

    • Developing negotiating skills.

    • Developing conflict resolution skills.

    • Developing a new budget to move forward.

    • Sharpening communications skills for better results.

  • Emotionally managed decisions

    • Responding instead of reacting.

    • Identifying the needs, wants, and concerns that will guide you during an emotionally charged time.

    • Reality testing choices.

    • Making the best decisions for your children in a heightened emotional and evolving situation.

    • Communicate more effectively to lower conflict and raise results.

I’m Catherine Britt

I’m Catherine Britt (and that’s Tuck). I am an attorney, divorce coach, and alternative dispute resolution specialist. I am also certified as a co-parenting specialist. I have a deep background in working with families and individuals to solve problems and move forward in a better way. And there is a better way.

My coaching approach is built around an alternative dispute resolution framework. For you this means moving forward with intention, preparation, and control of the process while reducing conflict and achieving better results.    

You can’t control everything, but you can control your decisions and your process.

  • Working with Catherine gave me the clarity I was missing to see the core issues I needed to focus on and "de-emotion" them. I was able to better articulate the outcomes I really wanted and communicate them more effectively. Her approach was both empathetic and objective - a combination that fostered a safe sounding board and empowered plan of action. It was exactly the support I didn't know I needed. . . until I did!

  • I was in the middle of a difficult divorce and even thought I was pretty savvy, I found that I had questions that I couldn’t get answered by my lawyer. I kept stumbling through and conflict kept escalating. Someone told me about divorce coaching and I was ready to try anything. After working with Catherine I know what I want and I have a roadmap to get there. For my part conflict has diminished and I can focus on going forward.

  • I knew needed to get a divorce, but I had no idea how to do that. Money was a big concern and I was getting lots of conflicting advice from family and friends as to what I should do and what I should want. Catherine walked me through the different approaches to help me figure out what process would be best for us and how we could be in control of the process, not the courts or the lawyers or our friends or families. We have costly avoided litigation and mediation has been successful for us. The money we saved on lawyers we have put towards rebuilding our separate lives. Without this coaching I am not sure where I would have ended up, but I think our divorce would have ended up in court.
