About

I am a social worker specialising in forensic work and mediation, with a strong commitment to helping families uncover the “third option” in moments of conflict. My practice is firmly child‑focused, and I integrate child‑voice assessments wherever they are appropriate to ensure that children’s experiences meaningfully shape decision‑making. I believe deeply in holistic change and growth, supporting families to move toward solutions that honour safety, clarity, and long‑term wellbeing.

Approach

My mediation approach focuses on creating comprehensive, sustainable agreements that genuinely support long‑term resolution. I begin with a facilitative style—helping parties communicate openly, explore underlying interests, and craft their own mutually acceptable solutions—while drawing on evaluative mediation when more structured guidance or expert insight is needed. My work remains child‑centred wherever applicable, incorporating child‑voice assessments to ensure that children’s needs and experiences meaningfully inform decision‑making. Across all cases, I aim to support holistic change and growth, helping families move toward clarity, stability, and healthier patterns of interaction.
