WSP Solicitors, Meta Advisors and Clarity with Claire have joined forces to host a free online webinar designed to help people navigate the early stages of separation with greater confidence and clarity.

Taking place on 8th October 2026 from 1pm to 2pm via Microsoft Teams, First Steps to Separation is aimed at people whose relationship is ending and who may be feeling uncertain about what to do next.

Separation can bring a range of questions and concerns, from understanding legal rights and financial arrangements to managing the emotional impact of a significant life change. The webinar has been created to provide calm, practical guidance across all three areas, helping attendees understand their options and identify the support available to them.

First Steps to Separation: Practical Support When You Need It Most

First Steps to Separation brings together specialists in legal, financial and emotional support to provide practical guidance for people at the start of their separation journey.

Whether you’re concerned about your finances, future living arrangements, children or simply how to move forward, the webinar will help you understand the support available and the options you may wish to consider.

Emotional Support During Separation

The emotional impact of separation is often underestimated, yet it can influence every decision that follows.

Claire Gilchrist, Divorce and Breakup Coach at Clarity with Claire, will discuss the emotional first steps people can take after a relationship breakdown. Her session will focus on navigating uncertainty, rebuilding confidence and creating a practical foundation for moving forward.

Legal Advice During Separation

Understanding your legal position early can help reduce uncertainty and support informed decision-making.

Beth Evans, Head of Family Law, and Louise Kelly, Associate Solicitor in Family Law at WSP Solicitors, will share practical guidance on the legal aspects of separation, helping attendees understand common issues that arise and when professional legal advice may be beneficial.

Their session will focus on providing clear, accessible information in plain English, helping people feel more confident about their next steps.

Financial Advice When Separating

Financial concerns are often one of the biggest worries during a separation.

Chloe Dunk, Associate Financial Adviser at Meta Advisors, will explain the financial considerations people may wish to think about in the early stages of separation, including the importance of understanding finances before making significant decisions about the future.

Practical Checklist to Help You Move Forward

As part of the webinar, attendees will receive access to a practical First Steps to Separation Checklist, bringing together key emotional, legal and financial considerations in one useful resource.

The checklist is designed to provide practical takeaways that attendees can refer to after the event, helping them organise their thoughts, identify priorities and feel more prepared for the journey ahead.
