Need a safe, structured, solution-focussed process to discuss difficult issues?

Mediation helps you make informed and positive choices about your future.

It supports your family members listen to each other, clarify options and jointly and respectfully make decisions.

You are the experts in your lives. You get to develop and choose the outcomes that might meet all your needs.

Mediation is a solution-focussed proces that is safe, supportive, fair, tailor-made, confidential and affordable.

Mediation Process

My family mediation process for separated couples usually looks like this. My process has an important second step where I help you prepare for the mediation, reality test your options and help you consider what the other person might be wanting or your children needing. In my experience this makes a successful mediation much more likely.

Other family mediations are similar. We may also need a second pre-mediation session if the issues you wish to explore are complex. We adapt the process to suit your needs.

I’d love to help your family. Let’s talk about how.
