About Joanne
I help families navigate separation through family mediation, so you can move forward without destroying your relationship in the process.
I'm a qualified family mediator (FMC) and an accredited relationship psychotherapist (BACP). That means I understand both the practical side of divorce and the emotional chaos that comes with it.
What I know: underneath the anger, you both want the same thing: to protect your children and find a way forward that doesn’t leave everyone broken.
The reality of Family Breakdown
You’ve hit breaking point. The same arguments, the constant tension, the worry about your children and finances - it’s overwhelming.
You're not alone. And no, it doesn’t have to end in a drawn-out legal battle.
Family Mediation Can Help
Most families I work with make real progress in 3–6 sessions. We cover everything from parenting plans and child contact to divorce and finance arrangements.
I help you have the conversations that feel impossible right now, and I help you hear each other, often for the first time in years.
Your children stay at the centre. You work out fair contact arrangements and a stable plan for the future, without going to war.
Save More Than Just Money
Legal fees can spiral to £30,000 per person. Mediation typically costs under £2,000.
But more importantly, you save your ability to co-parent, your children's emotional wellbeing, and your own peace of mind.
Why Work With Me?
Because I get it, my therapy background means I understand what’s underneath the conflict - fear, loss, pain. I help you process it while we sort the practical side.
Sessions are available online or in person. I'm registered with both FMC and BACP, so you're in safe hands.
