Family & separation mediation
Parenting arrangements, property and financial matters, discussed calmly with a neutral mediator guiding the conversation.
AMDRAS Accredited Mediator · Perth, Western Australia
A calm room, a clear process, and someone who isn't taking sides.
This practice is run by one mediator, based in Perth, providing general mediation services. Mediation is a structured conversation where both people work through what's in dispute with an impartial third person in the room — and, where it's possible, reach an agreement that works for you.
Every enquiry starts with a short confidential questionnaire. Nothing is booked until both parties' responses have been reviewed, and times are subject to availability.

Accreditation
AMDRAS Accredited Mediator
Accredited practice means working to a national standard on impartiality, confidentiality and safety screening.
Before you head to court
Don't spend thousands on court before exploring mediation
Litigation can be long, costly and draining. Mediation offers a calmer path: a confidential, structured conversation where you and the other party look for a workable outcome together. Every matter is different and no result can be promised — but many people find it a faster and less expensive way forward.
- Confidential support from an accredited mediator
- Fixed fees quoted in writing before you commit
- You stay in control: nothing is agreed unless you agree to it
- Safety screened before anything is scheduled
Services
Practical support across the disputes that matter most
Every matter begins with a private screening conversation so the process is shaped around your circumstances.
Workplace mediation
Restore working relationships between colleagues, teams or managers before a dispute escalates to a formal process.
Commercial & contract disputes
Practical, cost-conscious resolution for small business, supplier and partnership disagreements.
Property & neighbourhood matters
Fencing, strata, tenancy and boundary issues resolved without the cost and delay of court proceedings.
Online mediation
Secure video sessions, with private breakout rooms so each party can speak in confidence.
Care & support discussions
Structured conversations for families working through care arrangements for older relatives or other dependents.
What mediation here is, and isn't
Impartial, not neutral about safety: I don't decide who is right, and I don't make findings about the past. I hold the structure so both people can be heard.
It is

It isn't
- Legal advice, or a substitute for your own lawyer
- Family Dispute Resolution, and no court documentation is produced
- Counselling, therapy or a place for findings about the past
- A promise of any particular outcome

How it works
A clear path from first enquiry to written outcome
You will always know what happens next. Nothing proceeds without your agreement.
01Start the questionnaire
Each party completes a short confidential questionnaire about their situation, safety and the kind of dispute.
02Screening review
Your responses are reviewed personally before anything is booked. If mediation isn't the right fit, I'll say so and suggest other options.
03Choose your time
Once both parties are reviewed and approved, the booking link opens and you pick a time that suits everyone, online or in person.
04Mediation session
A structured, respectful conversation guided by your mediator, with breaks and private sessions as needed.
05Outcomes in writing
Any agreement reached is documented so you can take it to your own lawyer or adviser if you wish.
- Go to the questionnaire
Ready when you are
The questionnaire takes about ten minutes and is read only by your mediator.

Start with the confidential questionnaire, or send an enquiry and we'll come back to you. Your answers are stored securely and read only by your mediator. Reviewing them is a normal part of the process — it's how we work out together whether mediation is right for your situation.
