As a Nationally Accredited Mediator and Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner I am passionate about assisting parents to resolve their parenting issues with dignity and respect. I genuinely believe families should only find themselves in the court system as the absolute last resort. There are so many positive and constructive ways to resolve parenting matters before entering the court system. One pathway to resolution for parents is through Family Dispute Resolution (FDR).My family mediation practice is based on a facilitative, problem-solving model. A gentle and thoughtful style where you will be supported throughout the process. You will be given the space to tell your story, without interruption, enabling you to feel heard and gain confidence in the process. The basic premise is based upon respecting each person in the room. Clients are encouraged to attend mediation with an open-mind, a view to participate fully, engage in open and honest dialogue, be flexible with their thinking and be prepared to actively listen to each other, particularly where children are involved. In this way, you will make the most of the opportunity that mediation offers.
