About Me

Maurice Orshansky

Maurice Orshansky

Refocus & MoveForward was created through a passion born out of both lived experience and professional training.

I personally have navigated the long, difficult & complicated journey of separation & divorce, followed by rebuilding a path to happiness and content. I understand how destabilising it can feel — how quickly confidence can erode, how heavy decisions can become, and how uncertain the future may seem. Rebuilding required patience, reflection and resilience. That experience shaped not only my perspective, but the way I now support others.

Alongside lived experience, I have completed certified courses in relationship therapy and psychotherapy with Tavistock Relationships. This has strengthened my understanding of attachment, emotional patterns, conflict dynamics and the psychological impact of separation and rebuilding.

While I work with individuals from all backgrounds, I also have a deep understanding of the particular sensitivities, values and communal dynamics that can exist within the religious Jewish community. Divorce in close-knit communities can carry additional layers of complexity — social, cultural and spiritual — that are not always fully appreciated from the outside. Where relevant, I bring that awareness and discretion into my work.

I do not offer legal advice or therapy. My role is that of a coach — providing steady, practical and emotionally grounded guidance during a period that can otherwise feel chaotic. I help clients zoom out, think clearly, communicate constructively and make decisions they can live with long term.

Every individual's situation is different. There is no single "right" way to move through divorce. My approach is not prescriptive or judgemental. It is calm, respectful and confidential. I aim to create a space where you can speak openly, reflect honestly and begin to create a path allowing you to move forward confidently.

Whether you are in the early stages of separation, navigating co-parenting, or considering how to approach future relationships, my role is to offer clarity, perspective and steady support as you move forward.
