I'm a trained family mediator dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate challenging transitions with respect, clarity, and care.


I bring over 25 years of experience as a practising family solicitor dealing with the resolution of both financial and child arrangements arising upon divorce and relationship breakdown.

As well as my legal background and mediation training, I bring a lot of life experience to the role as both a parent and business owner. 

My background in law is complimented by a master’s degree in psychology and advanced post graduate training in individual and couple psychotherapy with Tavistock Relationships.

This unique combination of expertise allows me to approach mediation with both clarity and compassion. I work to create a safe, balanced space where each person feels heard and respected, while helping families find constructive solutions tailored to their needs.

My aim is to guide individuals and couples through difficult conversations in a way that reduces conflict, preserves relationships where possible, and prioritises the well- being of all involved—especially children.

Whether you are navigating separation, divorce, co-parenting arrangements, or broader family issues, I bring sensitivity, professionalism, and a practical problem- solving approach to help you work out arrangements that will allow you to move forward swiftly and cost effectively.
