Decisions are negotiated privately.

These can then, if appropriate, be legally bound through the courts.

Family Mediation seeks to empower couples to make their own decisions, while minimising conflict and cost.

There is an opportunity for imaginative solutions that make sense to you, which would often be missed through the traditional court process.

Mediators will lend their expertise and make suggestions as to possible options, but the decisions are always made by you.

I specialise in Mediation for financial arrangements on separation or divorce. I will often co-Mediate with others, who can offer expertise in parenting or legal issues. Sometimes, I will offer a ‘focused Mediation’, as a part of the Collaborative Law process or a traditional court settlement.

My extensive financial planning experience means that I can offer a significant level of support in financial matters, gathering all relevant information and putting it into context. I can help you to explore the ‘what ifs’ with all the resources of a regulated Financial Planning company at my disposal, allowing for detailed cash flow modelling and analysis of assets.

I am a member of the Family Mediation Association (FMA) and would recommend that you explore their excellent website to learn more about Family Mediation.

If you are unsure as to whether I can assist you, please feel free to call or email me for an informal chat about your situation.

If required, I am able to assemble a team of suitable specialists for most situations, from an extensive network of professional colleagues.
