Mediation
Looking for safe and experienced hands to support your dispute or separation?
Whether separating from a personal relationship or a business arrangement, the separation journey takes courage and can often feel overwhelming.
Mediation is a way of resolving disputes between people in conflict, facilitated by a neutral person. The parties come to their own agreement with the support, empathy and safety of an experienced mediator.
