What we do

We offer timely & affordable family mediation for separating couples in Canberra and surrounding regions.

​

We can help you create future‑focused parenting plans for your children (rather than waiting years for a court‑imposed solution).​

​

We can also help you settle property matters in a fair and amicable way so you avoid the escalating expense of lawyers’ letters and court hearings.​​

​

If you're separating and want to explore your options, book a free initial conversation. If you need family dispute resolution now, book a paid consultation to confidentially discuss your situation in detail (can be held virtually or in‑person).

​

​

​​​​​

​​​​​​​​In family matters we can contact the other party to arrange mediation or if not appropriate (or they do not engage) issue a Section 60I certificate so you can meet court requirements without delay.​

 

We also provide workplace mediation and leadership coaching for organisations and managers experiencing conflict or challenging behaviours in their teams and can also help you resolve commercial or business disputes.

Why work with us

When you separate, it can be hard to know which path to take. We provide calm, informed mediation so you can work through conflict, make decisions and protect your children from ongoing disputes.

 

James also has decades of experience helping people resolve conflict in workplaces and businesses.

 

All services use clear, published fees so you know costs upfront and can avoid thousands of dollars in legal fees.
