I have practised as a Family Law solicitor since 2003 and have been accredited as a mediator since 2014.

I believe mediation encourages constructive communication and helps to reduce misunderstanding and conflict between participants. By focusing on fair and practical solutions, mediation enables those involved to retain control over the decision-making process, rather than having outcomes imposed by the court.

In my experience, mediation is more likely to lead to lasting agreements and can often achieve better outcomes for children than contested court proceedings. It is also typically a quicker and more cost-effective way of resolving disputes than traditional litigation.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss any aspect of the mediation process further.
