Joshua Hearne

I am a qualified and NABFAM Accredited Family Law and Divorce Mediator based in Cape Town. With an Honours degree in Psychology and background in Mental Health, I bring a unique dual-lens perspective to the mediation table. Unlike traditional mediation which often focuses solely on the "letter of the law," my background allows me to navigate the complex emotional dynamics and family systems that often derail negotiations. I understand the psychological weight of custody and separation, having worked closely with clinical data in family and forensic domains. I bridge the gap between the emotional reality of divorce and the practical necessity of a legal settlement, helping families craft agreements that are not only legally sound but emotionally sustainable.
