A structured, confidential process for resolving disputes without litigation.
Mediation is a structured process in which an accredited, independent third party helps disputing parties reach a resolution they both accept. It is confidential, voluntary, and without prejudice — meaning nothing said in mediation can be used in subsequent legal proceedings.
I am a mediator working with individuals and couples. My background as a psychologist means I bring particular expertise to disputes where the emotional dimension is significant — family conflict, workplace relationships, separation and divorce. Understanding what is driving a disagreement, not just what the parties say they want, often makes the difference between a resolution that holds and one that does not.
Mediation typically begins with individual pre-mediation meetings, allowing each party to speak privately before the joint session. Joint sessions focus on interests and outcomes rather than positions. Agreements reached in mediation are recorded and, where appropriate, made legally binding.
Mediation is almost always faster and less costly than litigation. It also keeps control of the outcome with the parties themselves, rather than handing it to a court.
Confidential, voluntary, and without prejudice. The outcome stays with you — not the court.
