Bonnie Douglas is an experienced family mediator, registered Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (FDRP), parenting coordinator and divorce coach based on the Mornington Peninsula. Through her practice, Smoother Separations, Bonnie supports individuals and families in navigating separation with clarity, dignity, and less conflict — particularly where children are involved. Her approach is calm, structured and child-focused, drawing on her background in counselling, family dispute resolution and her own lived experience of high-conflict separation. Bonnie works primarily online to support psychological safety and reduce pressure for clients, while offering in-person appointments on the Mornington Peninsula by request. Guided by the belief that “separation should not be a life sentence,” Bonnie helps parents understand conflict patterns, consider different perspectives, and make more workable decisions for themselves and their children.
