Mediation

Finding a way forward together

Family life isn’t always easy. Relationships can be complicated, and when disagreements arise it can feel, exhausting, and sometimes even hopeless. Whether it’s trying to sort out parenting arrangements with your ex, navigating challenges between children and parents, adjusting to life in a blended family, or making decisions about caring for elderly relatives — conflict can take a toll on everyone involved.

That’s where I can help.

As a Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) provider and mediator, my role is to support families to have the conversations that matter most. I provide a calm, neutral space where everyone has the chance to be heard. Together, we can work through the tough issues, rebuild communication, and find solutions that feel fair and workable in everyday life.

How I support families

Separated parents – Helping you create clear, child-focused agreements so your children feel secure and supported.

Parents and children – Supporting open conversations that strengthen relationships and reduce conflict at home.

Blended families – Helping new family members understand each other’s needs, roles, and expectations.

Elderly relatives – Guiding respectful discussions around care, living arrangements, and support for the future.

Why mediation?

Mediation is about finding common ground and building understanding. It’s not about blame or taking sides. Instead, it’s about working together to create practical solutions that reflect the needs of your whānau. It’s private, respectful, and focused on helping your family move forward.

A supportive approach

Every family is unique, and so are the challenges you face. My approach is compassionate, professional, and tailored to your situation. I’ll walk alongside you through the process, helping you keep the focus on what matters most: creating healthier, more respectful relationships and agreements that last.
