I am a Family Mediation Council Accredited (FMCA) Family Mediator with over 10 years mediation experience, including family, neighbourhood dispute, restorative justice and workplace mediation. In addition, I am a Child Consultant, qualified to see children in mediation, and a Professional Practice Consultant for family mediators, supporting both new and experienced mediators in their professional development.
I am passionate about the benefits of mediation to help families involved in relationship breakdown to move forward positively. I work with clients to help them better understand their needs and those of their family, so that they can make arrangements for their children and finances that are both informed and realistic. I believe that the success of family mediation is anchored in ensuring that clients feel safe and listened to throughout the process.
Recognising the strong emotions usually present in mediation, I strive to practice with warmth, flexibility and kindness, whilst maintaining strong professional boundaries and a clear grasp of the legal and procedural framework of family law. I co-founded Able Mediation (www.ablemediation.com), with Nasrin Grayson in 2013. We currently work with both privately and publicly funded clients in Central and West London.
“I would just like to thank you for all your guidance through the mediation process. The [information] you have provided has been both transparent and comprehensive. This is obviously a turbulent time for both of us but your professional and considerate approach made the whole process far smoother than I could have hoped for and it has been greatly appreciated.”
