Mediation
I believe in mediation as a powerful tool in conflict resolution. When a relationship fails, communication breaks down and without communication, issues become far harder to resolve.
The role of the family mediator is essentially to help separating couples have the difficult conversations about next steps. There is a lot to think about at a time when emotion and stress is high. As mediators, we are here to help guide those conversations so that they can be productive.
Up until recently, I have been making documentary films as a producer and director. These films have always focussed on the everyday lives of real people.
Now I am turning my attention to helping people make sense of their own stories to find a way through what is most often a very challenging time.
I also volunteer at Dad's House pro-bono family law clinic every week where I meet clients with extreme difficulties concerning access to their children. I am able to explain the option of mediation to them in an attempt to resolve their troubles out of the court room.
I am a member of the Family Mediation Council and the Family Mediators Association and have full professional indemnity insurance. I am based in London and can be available for in-person or on-line sessions.
